Tour at 13:00

While we were boarding for this tour it was raining but as soon as we left the harbour the sun started shining and was shining though out the tour and the see was as flat as it could be. From the moment we spotted the first whale which was a Minke Whale more and more started appearing. At one point we had at least 10 Minke Whales pretty close to us and more of them all around us further away as well as so many Harbour Porpoises. We just turned the engines off and enjoyed the silence and we could clearly hear the heavy breath of the Minke Whales as they surfaced close by. At once point we had two Minke Whales very close to us swimming right behind each other so close to the surface without surfacing that we were able to see them through the surface and then eventually they  surfaced peacefully right in front of us. Brilliant tour with so many whales and great weather..!!

 

Tour at 09:00

The weather this morning was great, little bit drizzle but not to much. We headed out and soon we spotted a pod of Harbour Porpoises. The first pod was difficult but we then found another pod that was a lot easier to follow. Close by we then found the first Minke Whale and the longer we stayed in that area we were able to spot more and more of them. Some surfaced close to us and others were further away. Towards the end we then came across a pod of White-beaked Dolphins that we stayed with until we had to start heading back to the harbour.
