    This morning, the sun was shining warm in our faces, although the wind was quite cold! In total we saw 5 minke whales and 3 humpback whales on our journey! In the afternoon we spotted a tricky harbour porpoise and many atlantic puffins. We also found a minke whale, but since the encounter didn't last long, we decided to give out complimentary tickets.

    This morning, it didn't take us too long to spot a blow in the distance - then one after another! Soon we had seen 5 humpback whales! In the afternoon we spotted 1 minke whale in a distance, but it was moving very fast. We then saw a blow in the distance - it turned out to be 3 humpback whales, very active and we managed to spent a good amount of time with them!

    We sailed into the bay in sunny, but chilly weather. We found a small pod of 5 white-beaked dolphins and a a solo harbour porpoise, but they all disappeared quickly. Due to the difficult sightings, we of course offered complimentary tickets to all our understanding passengers. The rest of the day's tours were unfortunately cancelled due to unfavourable weather.

In the afternoon we found a pod of 3 harbour porpoises, 2 humpback whales, and finally an orca! But it wasn't alone - we saw another 5 feeding around us. One of them even lob-tailed next to our boat! What a fantastic surprise!

    This morning we sailed out into the bay in search for wildlife. After a short while, we came across an area with a lot of birds and found 3 minke whales actively feeding and rolling. Then a humpback whale came up and did some nice rolls and fluke dives. In the afternoon we found the humpback whale again quite close by and managed to see some atlantic puffins.

    The morning tour search for quite some time before eventually finding a very elusive minke whale! In the afternoon, we found at least 13 harbour porpoises throughout the tour. Due to the difficult sightings, however, both tours ended up issuing complimentary tickets. We sincerely hope to see all our guests return for a second chance at wildlife sightings!

    There was a cold breeze in the bay this morning, but with the sunshine and clear visibility we were excited to get out there. We searched far and wide, but sadly we had no luck spotting cetaceans, so we ended up issuing complimentary tickets to our understanding passengers so they can try again another day. The rest of the day was cancelled due to strong winds.
