Another perfect day for whale-watching ! Completely flat sea and hardly any wind at all made up perfect conditions for all our tours today.

Tour at 13:00

Another great tour with again lots of Harbour porpoises and Minke Whales around. We were unlucky with the dolphins this time, did not manage to find some, but for the other two species we had aonce again best conditions to observe them and enjoyed a lot of very good sightings close to the boat.

Tour at 09:00

It took us only a few minutes of sailing to find a huge group of harbour porpoises. Thanks to the flat sea we could spot them all around in the water, some were even diving under the boat and great to observe in a very short distance - we hardly ever had so wonderful conditions to watch so many porpoises!  Ånd the Minke Whales did not stay behind, we found at least 5 to 6 individulas, sometimes 3 were visible at the same time. It didn´t matter in which direction we looked, Minke Whales and Harbour porpoises all around!  And last not least we found a group of White-beaked dolphins, bow-riding and performing all their playful behaviour close to the boat. A perfect trip!
