First time nothing, second time.... EVERYTHING!
On our day of arrival we booked the tour straight away with Elding. However we didn't spot any whales or dolphins during this trip. Because of that we got a free ticket to try again at the end of our trip... And I'm so happy we tried again! We saw more than 12 mink whales, 10 white beaked dolphins and a lot of Harbour porpoises which were playing with us. A unique experience told our very enthousiastic and friendly guide Elena. She is the best... We learned a lot from all the information she gave during the trip! Thanks a lot for this amazing experience!!!

Today was a bit windy, but we enjoyed nice calm seas. It didn't take us long to find 2 humpback whales between the islands! We split our time between the two, and as they got sleepy, we were lucky to be able to watch them super close to the boat, resting. As we headed back, we all warmed up with some nice hot chocolate!
