    We sailed passed the islands, where we spotted our the same pair of humpback whales that we've been seeing for the past several weeks. They came super close to the boat a few times and we could see their whole bodies through the water! After cruising around for a bit, the whales were now closer to the shore and had started to log at the surface.

    • NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

    We set sail into fairly calm seas, with a moderate wind and a sky mostly covered by high clouds. After waiting patiently, a band of northern lights appeared! Faint at first, barely visible to the naked eye, when suddenly the sky exploded into colour!
