Tour 17:00

Tour has been cancelled due to bad weather and sea conditions.

 

Tour 13:00

Again a pretty wet and windy trip, but we headed out in spite of the weather. A few passengers were able to spot Harbour Porpoises on the way out, but they disappeared quite quickly. We then headed back to the area where we were earlier today and in this area we were able to spot quite a few Minke whales. Although the waves were quite high and conditions not exactly perfect it wasn't too difficult to spot the whales. We could always spot the blow of the whales from quite far away and this helped us to locate them!

 

Tour 9:00

It was a bit windy and rainy today but we sailed out and we had a nice time out at sea. In fact, we had spotted at least 4 different Minke whales individuals there were out there feeding since there was so much birdlife and fish shown on the fish finder on board. One Minke whale also went in feeding strike twice once even rolling on the right side in a lateral arc showing the fluke out of the water.
