Tour at 13:00

We set off towards a similar area where we were this morning, but on the way suddenly a group of harbour porpoises just popped up in front of the boat, just 20m away. We spotted them a couple of times but they soon disappeared. We headed on further and came to the area where we were earlier, and surely enough the Minke whales were still around. Even more of them actually! We spotted about 5-6 Minke whales in this area and they were often surfacing close to us. We didn't have to wait for them to take long dives either, they just came up quite regularly and were very easy to watch :)

 

Tour at 9:00

Again we were lucky with the weather and had a nice calm sea, these past few days have been really nice. We headed out to look for the whales and found an area where there were 2-3 Minke whales. A little further on we found a really nice group of harbour porpoises, which we followed for about 15 minutes and they were really nice to watch, often coming really close to the boat! We headed back through the area where the Minke whales were and were able to spot one before heading back to the harbour.
