Tour at 13:00

Again a very beautiful day: sunshine, snowy mountains, no wind. Perfect weather for a whale watching tour! We had some nice sightings today: minke whales and white-beaked dolphins. Our first sighting was a widely spread group of white-beaked dolphins. They were everywhere and we had always a few around the boat. There was a lot of action going on: all the dolphins we saw today were breaching a lot and liked to bowride. Then all of a sudden we spotted a minke whale, but the dolphins kept us very busy, so we lost the minke whale. When we tried to find it again later we found another small group of active dolphins instead. But after that we did spot a minke whale and watched it for a while before we headed back to the harbour.
