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!!!
