In the morning we spotted a humpback whale, and saw another blow not too far out and it turned out to be 2 of them next to each other, and a minke whale and a pod of 10 white-beaked dolphins! This afternoon we saw 2 humpback whales (so close we thought they were touching the boat), then we saw 5 white-beaked dolphins as well as 6 harbour porpoises!

After some sailing this morning we spotted a blow and went to investigate. It turned out to be a humpback whale! In the afternoon we also found a humpback whale (temporarily named Spooky for Halloween, but also as it often appears and changes direction) and later we also spotted a pod of 12 white-beaked dolphins.

This morning the water was super flat all the way through the ride. We eventually spotted around 10 white-beaked dolphins displaying for us different behaviours such as bow riding, jumping, socialising and traveling. In the afternoon we spotted a tall blow in the distance, that turned out to be a humpback whale and later we also found a minke whale!

It didn't take too long to find wildlife this morning as we spotted a minke whale just metres from our front, then a pod of 15-20 very spaced out white-beaked dolphins! In the afternoon we also saw a minke whale, however as we go closer it completely disappeared. We therefore we decided to give out complimentary tickets to all our passengers!

We sailed out this afternoon onto a gloomy bay with moderate swell. After about an hour of sailing we spotted 2 white-beaked dolphins and on the way back we saw 3 harbour porpoises. Ultimately we decided to offer our guests complimentary tickets as both sightings were very short lived.
