With our new travel seminar Ocean Transformation we create a space of encounter: with the animals, as well as with ourselves – as individuals and as a community. The focus is on seven accompanied, ecologically sustainable whale watching trips. The experiences at sea will provide important impulses for our engagement with the whale/dolphin-human relationship. We want to take up the power that arises from the encounter with wild animals and use it to ask ourselves the essential questions of life. More…

Marine pollution spreads all over the globe and is found in all oceans, including the seas surrounding the Canary Islands. Too often sea turtles get entangled in the deadly trap of marine debris or lost nets, whales and dolphins have to swim through polluted waters, etc. Every plastic bag thrown-away carelessly can represent, when accidentally swallowed, a threat to the life of a dolphin.
Hence, marine environmental protection is necessary even more. On these clean-up trips offered by our partner OCEANO Gomera, we actively contribute to the protection of the sea and its inhabitants by picking and collecting waste from the waters off La Gomera.
