Report from Elding: In the afternoon weather was still calm, light breeze was nicely refreshing as sun was strong. Bay was still full of life and around 50min after departure we started to see some minke whales. We didn't stop for the first animals, as at the same time we saw bigger blows not very far away. After few more minutes we found a humpback whale. Closer inspection revealed that in fact there were two humpbacks at the spot. They were traveling and we decide to follow them and we found 3 more humpbacks and many minke whales in between. One of the humpbacks even jumped! Definitely that trip was a dream true for some of our passengers.

Report from Elding: Wonderful weather: mirror flat sea and no wind. With such a conditions sailing was pure pleasure. After 20 min out we had first encounter - with large pod of white beaked dolphins. There was more than 30 spread around, some were hunting under flocks of bird and some decided to play around our boat. We had them bow riding or swimming around sides. It was super cool. Leaving them was a hard decision but we wanted to see some whales. And there were so many! At some point minke whales were all around us, in total for sure we saw more than 20 individuals. And between minke whales we also found one humpback whale. On the way back we saw more dolphins and minkes. Amazing start of a day!
