    We went out on a privat whale watching tour on Elding II with a group from France. It was truly a perfect tour! We spotted many Minke whales, a couple of them very close to the boat, and some cute Harbour porpoises. We were enjoying the sightings when we got a call from the

    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 da

    We began by stopping at puffin island Akurey to look at the birds. We didn't have to sail out very far before we spotted a Minke whale, but we saw a big blow in the distance and decided to have a look at this animal. It turned out to be two Humpback whales! They stayed with

    We found 3 or 4 Minke whale individuals, which was of course great. Some of our passengers spotted some huge splashes out in the distance, so we decided that we would go and investigate what was causing the splashes, although this meant we would be late. A young Humpback wha
