Sailing out this morning, we encountered a humpback whale and through the wind and waves, we managed to stay with this logging individual for a while. In the afternoon, we saw a big blow of a humpback whale, but it was a very tricky to watch. We therefore offered complimentary tickets. The rest of today's tours were cancelled due to weather.

This morning we sailed into a windy bay and our captain spotted a lone elusive harbour porpoise. In the afternoon the conditions were a bit more rough so we stayed close to land where we found several birds, but sadly no cetaceans. Complimentary tickets were issued on both tours and the evening tour got cancelled due to weather.

We set off under blue skies this morning. On our way out of the harbour we passed between the islands where we could see some puffins. We heard rumours there may be some cetacean near us but unfortunately they never appeared, so we gave complimentary tickets to all our passengers can try again another day! The afternoon tours were both cancelled due to weather.

We sailed out this morning, with strong Northern winds. We found 2-3 minke whales, one of which stayed with us for several moments. In the afternoon we sailed for a while before finally a minke whale showed itself to us. We got to see it for some time, surfacing from all sides. It was quite easy to follow for most of the encounter.
