Tour at 17:00

We had 3 main sightings of a Minke whale. They came pretty close to our boat. We could observe ever their pointed beak. After a while we spotted also two groups of White beaked dolphins. They were traveling very fast, but it was possible to follow them. At the end of the tour Puffin island. Many Gannets out on the ocean and also jung Gannet flying around the boat.

 

Tour at 13:00

The weather is the same as in the morning, little bit colder. There was a Minke whale calf again very close in front of our boat. Later more adult Minke whales. A seal surprised us also in the middle of the ocean!:) He put a big smile on the faces of all people. Later two groups of White beaked dolphins approached our boat. Nice tour.

 

Tour at 9:00

The weather is cloudy but the sea is calm. Many Minke whales around + one calf, so cute:) Later we discovered two Humpback whales. We stayed there for a while and it was an amasing sighting: the Humpback whales were lounge feeding, roling in the water, playing with the huge white side flippers and their huge mouth was visible above the watersurface. There were still Minke whales every where and later a group of White beaked dolphins arived as well. So we had all three species in the area with many feeding birds. Every tour is nice, but this was really special!
