Preview textWe left the harbour with fantastic weather and the sun was shining. We soon spotted 2 harbour porpoises and soon after, some larger cetaceans! We witnessed 10 humpback whales and 6 minke whales in a feeding frenzy, a brilliant morning! In the afternoon, we had more great weather and soon spotted 2 pods of 3 harbour porpoises as well as 10 humpback whales! Feding and surfacing all around us - with one even breaching & tail slapping. An amazing day at sea.

We headed out to sea on our final northern lights cruise of the year, full of hope for the night ahead! We were excited to witness a proposal onboard soon into the tour, many congratulations to the happy couple! It was a lovely calm evening at sea, and we started to see some stars, but unfortunately we had no aurora borealis this time, so we gave our guests complimentary tickets to try another time.

We sailed out with mostly clear skies, hopeful and excited. The sun set in the distance, and the skies cleared more and more. We waited, warming up with blankets but unfortunately, we were unlucky this time so handed out complimentary tickets to our guests to try again another evening!

- NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 22:00
Tonight we had partially cloudy skies, with fantastic ocean conditions, and we headed out to sea. More and more gaps in the clouds started to appear, and stars shone through them. We waited patiently, warming up with some hot chocolate, but unfortunately we were not lucky this time and gave our passengers complimentary tickets to try again another evening.
