    Big change from yesterday! We had a very nice and successful tour! First we spotted about three minke whales. The weather was good and the whales were easy to follow. There were also some dolphins around but we were so busy watching the minke whales that we couldn't pay a lo

    This wasn´t a very good tour. We spent a long time searching and went really far out looking for whales. But somehow we couldn't find any. Once we saw a whale in the distance and once we saw a blow but the whale never came up again. At the end of the tour a few white-beaked

    The sea was nice and calm today and we were lucky to find a Minke whale. We only spotted it once but then shortly we found another one which we could observe for a while. Towards the end of the trip we found a very playful group of white-beaked dolphins which were breaching

    The weather was better than we expected this afternoon, and the sea was nice and calm. Unfortunately we were unable to find the whales today, hopefully they will be back tomorrow! The forecast is looking great for tomorrow :)

    The weather wasn't as bad as we had anticipated, and quite soon we spotted a group of Harbour Porpoises. As we sailed on we spotted quite a few Minke whales throughout the trip, 5-7 individuals. A successful trip with lots of happy passengers :)

    Again a very beautiful day: sunshine, snowy mountains, no wind. Perfect weather for a whale watching tour! We had some nice sightings today: minke whales and white-beaked dolphins. Our first sighting was a widely spread group of white-beaked dolphins. They were everywhere an

    There is first snow on the mountains around and its realy beautiful. The visibility was perfect. Also the sea was not so rough. We saw a Minke whale very soon on the tour. We followed the whale and came pretty close, maybe 50metres. It was surfacing very long and also fast t

    Our afternoon tour was even better. There was no wind at all and everybody (especially the crew :-)) enjoyed the calm sea. This made it very easy to spot whales and we could catch sight of them from far away. We had several minke whales around and a particularly good one at

    Again we set off, very optimistic, we don't give up easily! We tried searching another area, but again were unsuccessful. I think all of our passengers today were at least able to enjoy the fresh air and the nice scenery, and hopefully they will be able to join us again with

    We sailed almost 60km this afternoon, so we were able to search a huge area. Again, we couldn't find any whales, but at least we had some great weather and lots of sunshine. All of our passengers got complimentary tickets today, and will hopefully be joining us again very so

    Report from Elding: Still a rough sea, but suddenly we saw a small group of white-beaked dolphins. It was actually only a short visit but still we could spot them quite well while they were at the surface. The waves were high so the dolphins were jumping a lot while they wer

    The sun came out but the wind picked up during lunchtime. Like in the morning we found a really nice group of the shy harbour porpoises. Especially in autumn and in spring time we spot them more often. Its seems that they stay around this time in big groups and are willing t

    The waves were still very big and the wind picked up even more. We spotted a group of Harbour porpoises not too far out, and were able to observe them for a couple of minutes before we lost them. Unfortunately we didn't spot anything else for the rest of the trip, so we gave
