CLASSIC WHALE WATCHING | 09:00
Report from Eldey: The sun was shining and wind was blowing as we headed out into the bay this morning. Not to far into the bay we spotted the blow of one minke whale. This minke had a clear blow but was very quick, showing off their sprinting skills. It kept us on our toes surfacing all around us. Since it was very focused on feeding and very elusive, we continued. We admired some of the Norther gannets plunge diving, creating impressive splashes. We also had a moment with many Northern fulmars gliding all around us, very majestic. Although we searched very far into the bay, unfortunately no more cetaceans were sighted. We handed out complimentary tickets so everyone could have another chance to head out with us again.
