Whale Diary
From morning mist to midnight sun, we encountered over a dozen humpback whales breaching, tail-slapping, and bubble-net feeding. Swift minke whales, elusive harbour porpoises, and pods of playful white-beaked dolphins added to the action. Calm seas teemed with seabirds such as puffins, guillemots, and arctic terns diving into bait balls.
