Right when we left the harbour, we spotted a pod of 3 harbour porpoises passing by. We went to the same area as the previous days - and bingo - it was a humpback whale beautifully going for a deep dive. Before we even went to go to explore other areas, it did a full body breach! We then got to see a pod of 10 white-beaked dolphins, travelling quite calmly.
We sailed out tonight, seeing stars, which is always a good sign! We waited for a while but sadly there was no lights seen. We sailed past the Imagine Peace Tower and saw fireworks above the city. In the end we handed out complimentary tickets.
We sailed out with a good forecast and we could see green lights through our cameras which was exciting. At times the light did also become visible to the naked eye, however this was quite faint, so we gave out complimentary tickets.
We went out in the same area as yesterday near Lundey and found a humpback whale still seemed quite relaxed going for frequent surfaces near by and showing its tail. We then spotted a few harbour porpoises that popped in front of us and a large group of 30 white-beaked dolphins that was calmly swimming. We then came back to the humpback to have a last look!
It was a cold, windy and snowy afternoon. Before we knew it we had found the humpback whale from yesterday close to land. We got to see this individual do many fluke dives and arched backs as it surfaced very often. Each dive was quick meaning we got lots of views. After seeing the humpback for an extended time, we decided to move on into the bay.
Not sure if we were very lucky or the intuition of the captain hit the spot, but not even 20 min. into the tour, we saw a blow not far from us - we had a humpback whale close! The clouds around us were snowy and the sky presented a very pink colour. Even the moon above Esja mountain was incredible, which made us amazed by the views during the rest of the tour.
We sailed out with three boats and the forecast looked fairly decent and the moon was high in the sky lighting up the landscape. After this beautiful night we sadly didn't see any Northern Lights, so we offered complimentary tickets to all passengers.
After some lovely weather yesterday, we were experiencing a bit of choppy seas and snowy during the whole tour, which was quite unexpected! After a long time sailing and covering many areas, we were unfortunately out of luck and didn't find any wildlife. We therefore handed out complimentary tickets so our passengers have a chance of coming back and trying again.
