We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
We are committed to the respect and conservation of the environment that surrounds us and in which we live; during the day and throughout the journey the contents of the explanations and curiosities about the places to visit are precisely about their natural, cultural, heritage and ethnographic values, precisely to raise awareness and thus educate in wanting to conserve. We collaborate with local entities in everything we need to implement our initiatives and, for example, the tasting will be of local/regional products and always those that are in season (which will be purchased from people in the fishing or seafood sector nearby and/or at their corresponding point of sale).

The Chasula, a historic ship, is an excellent place to photograph seabirds with superb results.
If necessary, an ornithological guide on board provides information about the birds and marine mammals. In addition, the birds are properly recorded.
From Cambados, we travel along the Ria de Arousa, the archipelago of Sálvora. Then, we sail W towards the 12 nautical mile line from the coast, near the Arousa canyon, heading S to the foothills of the Vigo canyon. This route may be slightly modified depending on the season or sea and wind conditions.
Rare species, difficult to see in other parts of Europe, are our "targets" during the pelagic trips: Madeira Storm Petrel, Wilson's Storm Petrel (Oceanites oceanicus), Sabine's Gull (Larus sabini), Hooded Shearwater (Puffinus gravis), Long-tailed Godwit (Stercorarius longicaudus), Pomarin's Godwit (Stercorarius pomarinus).
Species quite common to see in some parts of Europe, but always a beautiful sighting during our pelagic trips:
Ruddy Turnstone (Larus canus) Common Fumarel (Chlidonias niger), Greater Spotted Pandalus (Stercorarius skua), Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisea), Lesser Black-backed Shearwater (Puffinus griseus), Parasitic Pandalus (Stercorarius parasiticus), Common Negron (Melanitta nigra),
Common species during our pelagic trips:
Cinereous Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea), European Storm-petrel (Hydrobates p-gicus), Common Tern (Sterna hirundo), Black-footed Tern (Sterna sandvi-censis), Balearic Shearwater (Puffinus mauretanicus), Atlantic Gannet (Morus bassanus), etc.
An attentive look at the horizon can bring surprises: dolphins jumping or moving and even the blow of a whale.
