This morning we saw 4 minke whales (1 breached straight in front of us), a pod of harbour porpoises and about 15 white beaked dolphins. In the afternoon we saw the same species as the morning tour, but due to the elusiveness of the majority of our sightings we gave our passengers complimentary tickets!
