This is an exciting opportunity to join a working
conservation voyage. Sailing between Iceland and Sweden observing whale and
dolphins and collecting essential behavioural data, the boat will be equipped
with a directional hydrophone for the detection of whale song and dolphin
acoustics. The species the skipper hopes to encounter are Sperm Whales, Orcas,
Bottlenose Whales, Pilot Whales and numerous species of dolphins. The skipper on
board will be Rodrigo Olsen - a charming and fascinating whale expert from Baja
who has covered almost 300,000 nautical miles on sailing boats, in search of
some of the world's most elusive whale species. Rodrigo will be joined by first
mate Jesse Horton and Belinda Braithwaite who will be filming the trip and be on
hand to help you with your own photography and film making.
While on board you will be involved in all manoeuvres of
sailing as well as with the research on board. Ideal for novice and experienced
sailors alike this is the perfect trip for those wanting to gain experience of
sailing in high latitudes and those with a passion for wild places, whales and
dolphins.
£2,750 per person on a full board basis, excluding
international flights
