Tour at 13:00

The sea was by now completely flat and we headed back to the same area. There were even more white-beaked dolphins around now, really everywhere that we looked, and many of them were jumping. In the same area there were several Minke whales again, sometimes surfacing very close to the boat and sometimes a bit further away. We even stopped to turn off the engines at one point and just listened to the dolphins and whales around us. Really a lovely day out on the bay :)

 

Tour at 9:00

We set off this morning on a nice calm sea with some pretty cold weather. As we were approaching our usual whale watching area we spotted a group of white-beaked dolphins jumping in the distance. We came quite close to the dolphins while they were jumping, and they were really jumping high! After we stayed with the dolphins a while and they swam around the boat, we sailed on and found an area where there were several feeding Gannets and Minke whales. There was even another group of dolphins swimming around the same area with the Minke whales.
