Tour at 17:00

A lovely tour again. Although we didn't spot the Minke whales at all today, we had a fantastic time with the dolphins. We had dozens of dolphins all around us this evening. Everywhere we sailed we could spot them, and they were just as playful as this morning! Even as we were leaving one group, they followed us and were riding in the waves created by our boat. Our passengers were able to observe the dolphins inside the wave, which is not something we see every day! Truly great this trip :)

 

Tour at 13:00

We only spotted a few dolphins this time and they were not as playful as this morning. We had an extra close look at a group of harbour porpoises which is great, because they are very shy animals usually, and we don't get to see them up close very often.

 

Tour at 9:00

This morning was very exciting out on the bay. As we were watching a group of harbour porpoises, we saw some big splashes in the distance. When we came closer, we saw that it was a group of white beaked dolphins breaching (leaping out of the sea). All around us we could see dolphins, and they were extra playful, often jumping out of the water completely. A very enjoyable trip!
