Tour at 13:00
The weather was getting better and better when we headed out this afternoon. It was a fantastic tour we got. A big group of fast swimming harbour porpoises crossed our path and we could see them very clearly. We spotted one minke whale far away and when we got closer we saw it was a small calf (dinky minke), it surface many times and was very cute. Splashes far out in the distance were from a small group of white-beaked dolphins. This group was amazing, surfacing many times very close, swimming under and along the boat. On our way back to the harbour we spotted at least two or three minke whales. What luck. Absolutely amazing tour.

The morning tour was quite successful. We spotted harbour porpoises, white-beaked dolphins and some minke whales. The harbour porpoises were fast swimming so we could not see them well. The dolphins were very nice to us. They came very close many times so we could have a good look at them. The minke whales were a bit difficult in the beginning but the last minke was perfect, surfacing many times close to our boat. Many nice sightings this morning.
