Tour at 17:00

A nice late evening tour: the birds life is alsways great at 17.00, when all birds are gathering in lage flocks. The minke whales has been spotted mainly close to those flocks of feeding birds, at least 3 and we had as well a sighting of an humpback whale, which came very close to our vessel!

 

Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsulan: Another very exciting tour: the minke whales were still out there, we could see them everywhere around us, at least 10 encountered. The white-beaked dolphins wree there and we even had a humpback whale!

Report from Elding: The weather was beautiful today and we had good whale watching conditions. On this tour we again spotted a lot of minke whales. The passengers on the boat Elding had a very nice experience: one minke whale suddenly appeared very close to the boat -- it could not have been closer -- then it dived under the boat and came up again just ahead of the boat. We were able to experience how the smallest of the great whales is still very huge. The passengers on Hafsúla were lucky too and spotted a humpback whale.

 

Tour at 9:00

A beautiful day: calm sea conditions and no wind: we spotted a lot of flock of feeding seabirds and the whales were numerous as well. We encountered more than 6 minke whales and some of them were lunge feeding, and also a pod of more than 4 white-beaked dolphins.
