The wind persisted through the morning with intermittent rain showers. We tried our best to find wildlife and had a short encounter with a pod of 4-5 white-beaked dolphins. The dolphins came towards the boat and surfed between the swell and the wake for a few minutes but quickly became lost in the conditions.

We were able to spot a group of 3 harbor porpoises, but we did not stop due to its extremely elusive nature and because in the distance we sighted a giant blow. Davy Jones, a well-known humpback whale.

We quickly found a humpback whale, which was very calm and allowed us to observe itself for a long time. When we finally saw its fluke, we could identify it as Davy Jones, a humpback that had been seen quite often over the past week in the area.

In the end, we found a humpback whale, which surfaced many times and kept close to the boat. Alongside it, there was a pod of about 5 white-beaked dolphins. That made for a good show, as the humpback clearly wanted no business with the dolphins and swayed around and slapped its tail a bit to try to shake them off.

We went quite far on the bay and we found a humpback whale hanging with a pod of white beaked dolphins. The dolphins were feeding but still came to greet us very politely swimming under the boat, bow riding and doing a bit the show.

We first find a minke whale. The animal was probably feeding and a bit difficult to follow so we continue until we found a pod of white beaked dolphins swimming in the same area than a humpback whale.

We also found a humpback whale in the same area that was very relaxed, probably resting. We could observe it for a while and it gave us two very nice fluke dives. Meanwhile they were other minke whales around us further away. We also saw the first baby guillemots of the season, which are probably the cutest living creatures. During the way back we saw a group of 4-5 harbour porpoises, 2 other minke whales. Perfect tour.

At first, we found a humpback whale. The whale was incredibly calm and resting close to the surface, not giving us the humpback-typical beautiful fluke dives. Therefore, we decided to move on to other things, and just as we turned, the humpback breached behind us – that's life sometimes!

Then we found an area with about 3-4 minke whales that seemed to be feeding, much more difficult to photograph and then a pod of 4 white-beaked dolphins to finish the tour nicely. On the way home passengers moved into the warmer saloon and enjoyed some refreshments that could be purchased at the onboard cafeteria.
