    We started the tour by spotting a nice group of harbour porpoises. Then when we got to the area where we had spent the morning we couldn't find any whales. Strange. We searched for a long while until we finally found two minke whales. But both only came up once to breathe an

    The weather was still very calm and soon we spotted the first harbour porpoises. Again they were easy to follow and fun to watch.  We spotted two minke whales as well on this tour and the first one surfaced a few times so we could enjoy it quite well. The second one disappea

    Again no whales! And again we searched a big, big area, and we went further out, but couldn´t spot any whales. The weather got worse during the day and it was pretty cold on this tour. Well, bad luck today, but as we always say, this is nature, too, even if we don't like it.
