Rainbow 🌈 and Dolphins 🐬 🐬🐬 Got a small group of Dolphins on our return trip from the Isle of May today.

From yesterday’s Safari, we had a few dolphins tease us, they didn’t hang around long! 🐬🐬

Splish splash 🐬🐬

A great show from the dolphins this afternoon, shame my camera skills didn’t match their performance. I didn’t know where to point it, we had them jumping behind us, to the side of us and in front of! Probably about 12-15, in the 2nd wave, only 3-5 in the first wave and they were on a mission, didn’t hang around at all, but luckily for us the 2 group wanted to play. Always a bonus getting dolphins 🐬 🐬🐬

🐬Wow🐬 Some videos from this morning’s trip across to the island from the skipper, he says it’s the biggest pod he’s seen and they put on a great show. I’m just jealous that I wasn’t there to see it in person! If, like me, you want to chance your like at a front row seat we have spaces on some sea safaris. It’s not a guarantee but that’s the nature of nature, you don’t know what surprises it’ll have in store for you next

Beneath the surface, in the harbour at the Isle of May. 🦭

Dolphins from our first Sea Safari trip today. 🐬🐬

A small pod of Dolphins came to play along Osprey 3 on one of our Sea Safaris today. Sure they were trying to splash us! 🐬🐬🐬
