It was still very good out at sea: a lot of minke whales all around us, couple surfacing together, some approached us even les than 30 meters and we had the chance to spot the same humpback whale again. It was really relaxed towards us, slowly surfacing and coming towards us
Another successful trip, we saw a few Minke whales, and had another group of dolphins playing around the boat. At the end of the trip we found a Humpback whale which showed its flukes twice, before we had to leave and go back to the harbour.
Report from Elding: We headed out to the area where we had the Humpback whale, and as we sailed towards it, we saw some tail lobbing in the distance. We came close to the Humpback whale and it carried on tail lobbing, causing some big splashes. We were lucky enough to see th
