Due to weather, we were only able to sail at 09:00 today. While we explored many areas, unfortunately the animals appeared to be further out in the bay today, so we decided to give out complimentary tickets!
We sailed out of the bay in this cold but beautiful conditions. Off the bat, we encountered several harbour porpoises, a pod of 5 white-beaked dolphins (including 2 calves) before we came upon 4 minke whales.
We had clouds following us all evening, and we could see green hues of northern lights behind them through our cameras. At one point it looked quite strong through the lens, but due to the difficult sightings, we handed out complimentary tickets!
We hadn't even left the harbour and we already had northern lights right above us! We ventured to the islands where the city lights can't get us and the auroras lasted through the duration of the tour. We could see all shapes and sizes that covered the sky in green, red and purple!
We sailed out and as we did the wind picked up a little. We didn't have to look for long when we found 3 pods of 15 white beaked dolphins and a bit further out we saw 5 minke whales, in one spot!
We already had northern lights above us as we were leaving the harbour! The intensity of beautiful green color was coming all the way, crossing the sky, very strong. Right in the beginning, everyone that was inside came out to see and admire it. What a lovely night!
Today we sailed into the bay, eager to see what it had in store for us. We spotted 5 white-beaked dolphins, 4 harbour porpoises, 1 minke whale and then a bigger blow in the distance - a breaching humpback whale we know as NEILA!
We could see faint northern lights activity for nearly the whole duration of the tour and we even saw a meteor with a very bright green tail! Given the difficult sightings through the clouds, we decided to offer complimentary tickets to our passengers!
We sailed into the bay with very good visibility. We saw a pod of harbour porpoises just outside the port, then a humpback whale, several white-beaked dolphins and at least 3 minke whales all in the same area.
On today's chilly but beautiful day, our encounters included several harbour porpoises, 2 minke whales curiously cruising by and under our boat and a pod of 5 white-beaked dolphins playfully bow riding for several minutes!
