Tour at 13:00

It had picked up a lot of wind when we headed out for this tour so the conditions were not as good and quite many white caps all over. But that didn't stop us and after searching for some time we spotted one Minke Whale surfacing once and a bit later we spotted another one, first just the blow and then few moments later a black back and then it was gone. After that we searched for a long time. We crossed many good areas and one where there were many Gulls flying around but no whales. Then on the way back we spotted a pod of White-beaked Dolphins. They were spread over quite some area few surfaced several times close to us and few leaped out of the water further away.

 

Tour at 09:00

The weather was great this morning, we could feel the cold winter is here but the sea conditions were really great. After searching for a bit we first spotted a Minke Whale from faraway. This Minke Whale didn't surface again but we were able to spot another one but it was the same with this one it didn't surface again so we kept on searching. We then spotted  an pod of White-beaked Dolphins. This pod was really nice and surfaced many times all around us, swimming under the boat, leaping out of the water and breaching. Absolutely fantastic.
