Tour at 13:00

We started the tour again today by stopping by Akurey, the Island didn't disappoint us, there were so many Puffins. We then headed out and soon we spotted one Minke Whale, it came a lot out of the water but it only surfaced once. We then headed to the area where we had the Humpback Whales earlier today but we didn't find them this time. During the tour we spotted many pods of Harbour Porpoises one really nice pod towards the end of the tour and soon after we spotted that one we spotted another Minke Whale. This time it surfaced 3 times but then it disappeared.

 

Tour at 09:00

We started the tour today by stopping in Akurey, one of the Puffin colonies. The Island was packed with puffins both on the Island and around it. We then headed out to see if we could find the bigger whales. After sailing for only about 30 minutes I spotted a blow far far away. We turned the boat and started sailing towards the area. On the way we spotted one Minke Whale it surfaced 3 times and then it went for a deeper dive but we were so focused on going to where the blow was that we kept on going to that area. And there they were two beautiful huge Humpback Whales. We stayed with them for a while and we were able to see them very well.
