Tour at 13:00

We did not have to sail for a long time to find the whales this afternoon. We saw lots of feeding Gannets and in the same area we found two Minke whales and two groups of White-beaked dolphins. The Minkes were very nice, surfacing many times, some times close some times further away. The dolphins were very playful and two of them came very close to the boat many times, like they were people watching. So funny. We could see them very clearly, the cute smiling face and powerful bodies. Lovely tour;)

 

Tour at 09:00

Soon after we left the harbour we spotted some splashes far out in the distance. It was a group of White-beaked dolphins, breaching out of the water. And the group was in a very good mood, playing all around the boat, very entertaining dolphins. A little bit further out in the bay we found one Minke whale and lots of feeding Gannets. The Whale was very busy feeding, rolling in the surface, surface feeding and sharking (coming up on the side), even belly up. Amazing whale. On our way back to the harbour we found another group of White-beaked dolphins and again a very nice and curious group. So all together very nice tour;)
