Today was busy, so we sailed out on two boats all day! In the morning we found a minke whale and a very large group of feeding white-beaked dolphins. In the afternoon we saw about 10 harbour porpoises and 2-4 minke whales, but one of the boats only had quick encounters, so all passengers were offered complimentary tickets.
With the view of many constellations above us, we sailed towards mt. Esja and soon spotted the northern lights. The lights started out in a faint arch, but then quickly became visible to the naked eye, growing stronger.
We spotted a minke whale after about an hour this morning and on the way back home we also saw 7 harbour porpoises. In the afternoon we again found a few harbour porpoises and minke whale in the same area as this morning, but due to the quick duration of the sightings, we offered complimentary tickets to all passengers.
Soon after leaving the harbour, we had a wonderful arch of northern lights over our heads and towards Jupiter. The auroras were dancing and displayed colours from green to purple and even pink! A rare and wonderful sight!
The tour had just started when we spotted northern lights above mount Esja. They took form of an arch during the first half of the tour, then faded for a few minutes, only to come back very strong, all over the sky, until the end!
This morning we found a small pod of 4 white-beaked dolphins as well as a fin from a minke whale passing by. We then saw a massive blow, from a humpback whale (Davy Jones II)! In the afternoon we found a few white-beaked dolphins and quick harbour porpoises, but decided to offer all our passengers complimentary tickets.
It was a lovely evening! As soon as we started sailing we saw northern lights, but sadly they lasted only a few minutes.. We decided to give out complimentary tickets for our guests to join another tour and try again!
This morning we quickly found a harbour porpoise and soon after found a minke whale that surfaced quickly. A while later we were surprised by a pod of orcas that surfaced calmly, coming close multiple times. In the afternoon we found a pod of 7-8 white-beaked dolphins that started bow riding and later we found some puffins!
This morning, we soon encountered a minke whale in the calm conditions. Not long after, the blow of a humpback whale appeared and then a pod of 6 feeding white-beaked dolphins. In the afternoon, we spotted a pod of white-beaked dolphins, some pairs of mothers with their babies, being social and playful in the sun!
We waited and waited, but unfortunately, even though the forecast was promising, the northern lights did no come out to play. So we offered all passengers complimentary tickets for another chance of seeing the auroras!
