Tour at 13:00

The sea was incredibly calm this afternoon and we headed back to the same area as before. We found two groups of Harbour Porpoises, one very early on in the trip and the other as we came to the whale watching area. In the same area we spotted a Minke whale! We stayed for about 20 minutes with this whale, before heading off towards some white-beaked dolphins. In the same area we spotted another Minke whale and in the distance a big group of dolphins, about 20-25 in the group! There were even a few calves in this group. On the way back we stopped with one of the Minke whales again and it was surfacing really calmly and close to us so this topped off a really great trip!

We set off in quite nice weather this morning and headed to the usual whale watching area. We soon spotted a couple of groups of Harbour Porpoises which we were able to follow for quite a few minutes. A little further out we found a Minke whale which we stayed with for a while, surfacing a couple of times quite close to the boat, which of course was great! To top off a lovely trip, we came across a group of nice white-beaked dolphins which were really great to watch, in quite a playful mood! A very nice trip this morning.
