    We sailed almost 60km this afternoon, so we were able to search a huge area. Again, we couldn't find any whales, but at least we had some great weather and lots of sunshine. All of our passengers got complimentary tickets today, and will hopefully be joining us again very so

    Report from Elding: Still a rough sea, but suddenly we saw a small group of white-beaked dolphins. It was actually only a short visit but still we could spot them quite well while they were at the surface. The waves were high so the dolphins were jumping a lot while they wer

    The sun came out but the wind picked up during lunchtime. Like in the morning we found a really nice group of the shy harbour porpoises. Especially in autumn and in spring time we spot them more often. Its seems that they stay around this time in big groups and are willing t

    The waves were still very big and the wind picked up even more. We spotted a group of Harbour porpoises not too far out, and were able to observe them for a couple of minutes before we lost them. Unfortunately we didn't spot anything else for the rest of the trip, so we gave

    It was raining and the visibility was not the best. All we could see was a group of White beaked dolphins. We were observing them for some time, they came close to our boat and we saw them also breaching. This was quite nice. We did not see any Minke whales.
