    Again we found lots of harbour porpoises, througout the tour it was possible to spot them in the distance. We encountered 3 individuals of the Minke Whales - they did not stay very long with us but with all of them we had a few very good sightings of their surfacing behaviou

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

    A GREAT DAY FOR WHALE-WATCHING!

    This tour started with encountering the White-beaked Dolphins that we did not find very often for the last 10 days. Harbour porpoises were all around in the area, gathering in groups of up to 10 individulas but visible all around the boa

    The weather conditions got stronger during this trip, more wind and it became more difficult to spot any wildlife. We were not very lucky on this tour, only spotted one Minke Whale close to the boat but it was surfacing very quickly and dissapeared after surfacing 3 times. Duri

    Another very successful tour. This time we first encountered a group of White-beaked dolphins very close to the harbour (we had been missing them for a few days already), great to watch with all their acrobatic skills. Further out on the bay we found at least 4 Minke Whales in

    It was still snowing a bit in the afternoon but the wind calmed down. This made for good whale watching conditions in the beginning of the tour. In the same area as yesterday we spotted our hero of the tour: one particularly nice minke whale. We watched it for quite a while

    Tour at 13:00 We still had very nice weather in the afternoon. This time we had to search for a while til we spot one minke whale. This one was a quite good one: it came several times up to breath close to the boat, so we could watch it very well. Later we found another one, but unfortunately th

    Lovely weather and really good sightings this afternoon. A lot of different groups of harbour porpoises, spectacularly approching, fast swimming and surfacing together really close to our vessel. Minke whale sightings have been great as well: two individuals less than 30 met

    On this tour we encountered a group of 5 White-beaked dolphins right in the beginning, they were quite playful and we observed them for a while before heading further out in the bay. It was a hard search but far outside in the bay we finally sotted a Minke Whale and it surfa

    After only a few minutes a huge group of white-beaked dolphins came along, passing by, porpoising and breeching - great to obeserve for quite a while. The search for the Minke Whale took us much longer on this tour, but we finally came to an area with at least 2 individuals.
