CLASSIC WHALE WATCHING | 1300

Report from Eldey and Hafsulan: We sailed out on a very windy afternoon in search of cetaceans. Hafsulan had set off first and managed to find our first regular humpback whale. This one was showing the fluke lots and lots so we knew it was Calamity. Eldey was now on the way out too and saw 3 harbour porpises. Both boats were now together watching a beautiful humpback. During the tour we also saw 4 grey seals and 2 harbour seals. We then also spotted the second humpback whale that has also been here a lot recently. This whale was lunge feeding quite a lot!♥ We then both had a quick stop back with Calamity before heading back to the harbour. It was a really good day :)
