We headed again to the same area as we were in on the earlier trips today. We found about 5 Minke whales and were able to observe one of them very closely. There were still thousands of birds feeding in the area. Obviously a lot of food for the birds and whales here these days!

Like this morning we had very good luck. We spotted easily ten minke whales during the whole tour. We always watched one for a little while and then found another one soon after. We saw a lot of birds feeding which showed us that there is a lot of food. And indeed three of the minke whales were lounge feeding, which we don't see very often -- only if there is a lot of food near the surface.

We were lucky on this trip. We soon spotted a Minke whale and came to an area where there were thousands of birds feeding. We spotted about 8 Minke whales in this area, and a little bit later we saw a big blow in the distance. When we came closer we found 2 Humpback whales, and were able to observe one of them very closely.
