We sailed directly out to the area were we spotted the minke whale earlier. But no sign of it. Further out we found the young minke whale again. In the beginning it was very difficult to get close to it, then after using a lot of patience, finally the small cute minke surfaced very close to our boat 5-10 meters and we could even see the white stripe on the side flipper underneath the surface. It was fantastic. We spent some time with the wonderful Minke whale and enjoyed it a lot. Good tour.

The weather was very nice, calm sea and hardly any wind. In the beginning it was a live less bay, no birds and no sign of the whales. Far, far out we finally spotted some white-beaked dolphins. First only one, then they where two and just before we had to leave they were three. They were very nice to us, surfacing all around us, swimming under the boat and coming very close many times, 5-10 meters. On our way back to the harbour one young minke whale surfaced. 10- 20 meters from the boat three times but the time was out so we could not wait for the minke to surface again. Nice tour.
