Report from Hafsulan: The gods of the oceans had decided to bless us for our last trip as the sea conditions were even better (if that's even possible!). Plus, we didn't have to sail very far away to find our first cetaceans. We encountered a total of 6 minke whales but the little one was the one which caught our attention as it surfaced repeatedly next to our boat several occasions. Apart from that, puffins, guillemots, gannets and a breathtaking landscape were our companions during tour. A great ending of the day.

Report from Elding: We sailed out in very nice weather, it was warm and the sea was perfectly still. Very shortly after we got out of the harbour we found a minke whale! It was rolling and lunge feeding very close to us so we could see the pink stretched skin underneath! We stayed with this beautiful whale for some time before we headed further out, and saw some more minke whales! This time there were 2 minke whales around us and we got a good look at them before we ran out of time. It was such a great tour!

Report from Hafsulan: What do you get by sailing in mirror-sea conditions? A great tour! We were just fastening our seat belts when we had the first encounter of the day: 2 minke whales feeding near Engey, one of the closest islands from the harbour. Once we enjoyed them, we headed further out to discover a very active spot as we came across with 3 more minke whales. But the biggest surprise was 3 pods of 12-15 white-beaked dolphins which interacted with our boat for a while, It almost looked like they were watching us. But that wasn't al as some of them were jumping, leaping and playing around us. It was a great experience so we headed back to the harbour with big smiles in our faces.
