Tour at 13:00

The wind had picked up a little on this tour but the sun was still strong and visibility was still perfect. Our first cetacean of this tour was a Minke Whale which did surface many times to begin with but surfaced more frequently later on. We got word from Elding II about some White-beaked Dolphins which were great to watch. At least 6-8 individuals with two young calves. One of which was jumping I guess to show of to its mother. We then headed out a bit further and came across some more Minke Whales. One of them came less than 10 meters from our boat and gave everyone a shock. On the way back to the harbour we were also lucky to see some Harbour Porpoises too and diving Gannets. Incredible tour!!

Absolutely stunning day. Crisp air, blue skies, flat seas and great visibility. The cetaceans were great too. We saw White-beaked Dolphins with their calves, about 7-8 Minke Whales during the whole tour and a small pod of Harbour Porpoises. Fantastic Tour!!
