Go on a whale safari

A little expectation management: it's not the big whales we're talking about! The type of whales swimming in the Danish waters, look like dolphins (also a type of whale). In Danish we know them as Marsviner, and in English it's Porpoises. In Nature Park Little Belt, Naturpark lillebælt,  you can join the most charming tour boats, where a guide will tell you all about the wonders of Porpoises.... Did you know they sleep with only half their brain?
