The Mediterranean Tiny Hero at Eye Level
— and just a few meters away.
These short pelagic trips are tailored for photographers aiming to get the European Storm-Petrel (Mediterranean) from strikingly close and low perspectives. You'll be just a few meters from them as they fly low and fast alongside the boat.
With early departures, soft morning light, and expert guidance, these trips offer a rare chance to get sharp, intimate shots of these fast-moving birds on a moving sea.
Whether you're after the best views of your life or looking to build a standout seabird portfolio. We'll help you make it happen.

The experience
Breeding in the Balearic and Columbretes Islands, European Storm-Petrels (Mediterranean) Hydrobates pelagicus melitensis, come near the coasts of Tarragona to feed.
We often see them in groups of dozens, sometimes even hundreds.
