Tour at 13:00

It was still so beautiful like in the morning, still no wind and still very good visibility. Again we spotted whales rather early. We were able to watch two different groups of white-beaked dolphins and two minke whales. The first dolphin group showed a lot of interest in the boat and approached us a lot. Because of the flat water surface we could watch them very very well. The two minke whales were both just wonderful and enjoyable to watch. They surfaced very close to the boat several times so we could get a very good look at them.

 

Tour at 9:00

Today we had perfect weather conditions: no wind and the sea was flat like a mirror. So it didn't take us a long time to spot the first whales. We spotted three minke whales on this tour. Two of them were really super to watch: they surfaced close to the boat, were calm and had short breathing rates. We could also smell the minke whales. Almost all senses got involved on this tour!!! It was a very satisfying and relaxing morning for all of us, the passengers and the crew :-)
