Tour at 13:00

Again we found lots of harbour porpoises, througout the tour it was possible to spot them in the distance. We encountered 3 individuals of the Minke Whales - they did not stay very long with us but with all of them we had a few very good sightings of their surfacing behaviour. And last not least we spotted a Humpback Whale! A huge blow in the distance, then another one ... and finally we saw the huge long black back surfacing  and thereafter arching intensely in order to go for a deep dive. Even though it was in a distance of 200 m it was very impressive to see this species just a few minutes after having observed the Minke Whale. We tried to find the Humpback again and spotted the blow two more times after 10 min, but unfortunately further in a distance and we didn't have the time anymore to follow it.

 

Tour at 09:00

A tour in very good sea conditions - we spotted several groups of Harbour porpoises, even very close to the boat and diving under the boat. We were also luky with the Minke Whales, 3 individuals were encountered during the trip.
