    We sailed out with quite some wind, but nice sea conditions. We didn't have to go far before we spotted 2 humpback whales! After a while we decided to leave them alone for a bit and check out the rest of the bay. We did find a small pod of 4 white-beaked dolphins, that were circling us for a few moments, but then disappeared before reappearing a while later.

    Luckily the wildlife was close by today so we managed to stay in relatively calm seas. It did not take long before we spotted our familiar duo of humpback whales, possibly feeding on some fish. After a while they surfaced next to and behind our boat! Eventually, we also found a pod of 4 white-beaked dolphins that didn't seem very interested in us, so we moved on.

    We sailed out into a windy bay this evening, with quite some cloud cover overhead. About 30 minutes into the tour we could see that the northern lights started to shine through an opening in the clouds above us - dancing in the night sky!

    There was a sun storm tonight, so we sailed out hopeful for an incredible show. We could clearly see the auroras behind the clouds with our cameras, but not with the naked eye, so we of course handed out complimentary tickets to all our guests.
