Tour at 13:00

The wind was increasing a bit in the afternoon but even so we had good whale watching conditions. There are not many birds around yet but we did see some puffins! Our first sighting on this tour was a group of harbour porpoises which surfaced a lot. Our second sighting was a nice group of white-beaked dolphins. They swam rather fast and didn't have much interest in the boat. But still we were able to watch them very well.

Tour at 9:00

Very good visibility today and good sightings as well. During our whale-wathcing tour this morning we had several sightings of harbour porpoises and a couple of them they were surprinsingly colse to the boat, and two sightings of two minke whales. Two individuals surfacing several times and showing the big back and their slender streched lateral bodies.
