There seemed to be plenty of food to go around today, as even the birds were gathered for a feast! Throughout the day, there were up to 12 minke whales skimming all around us, giving us fantastic lengthy views - we even got to see inside their mouths as they were lunge feeding! Additionally, we got to see large groups of white-beaked dolphins an some harbour porpoises!

We sailed out this morning, hoping to continue our sighting streak. We saw numerous black-backed gulls and arctic terns, but no cetaceans until a shy minke whale briefly appeared as we headed back to the harbour. Due to the short lived sighting, we issued complimentary tickets subsequently. All other tours were cancelled today due to weather.

In the morning, we saw 10-15 white-beaked dolphins and two active humpback whales breaching and tail slapping. In the afternoon, the same humpback whales interacted with white-beaked dolphins, and a minke whale appeared. In the evening, we saw a large minke whale and playful white-beaked dolphins again, ending with more sightings of the humpback whales.

Throughout the day, our tours were filled with exciting encounters. All our Classic tours today managed to see some minke whales and playful pods of white-beaked dolphins. We got to see some interesting behaviours such as hunting, feeding, bow-riding and jumping. The day then ended with sightings of the two aforementioned species as well as 3 harbour porpoises.

This morning we saw a minke whale and a majestic humpback whale showing its fluke. Later, we enjoyed the sight of a humpback whale fluking multiple times, with a brief appearance of a minke whale near our bow. In the afternoon, another two fast-moving minke whales delighted passengers. The day ended with a shy minke whale sighting and complimentary tickets.

This morning we spotted some minke whales and a playful pod of 10-15 white-beaked dolphins. In the afternoon, a few minke whales approached us and we also had a brief white-beaked dolphin sighting. The day ended with an active pod of 7 white-beaked dolphins! Despite seeing minke whales at 09:00 and 15:00, we decided to issue complimentary tickets due to the short-lived encounters.

There was was still some leftover swell from the last days as we sailed out into the bay. Despite spotting many seabirds, we unfortunately didn't see any other wildlife during the day and so we offered everyone complimentary tickets. The evening tour did however encounter a pod of 10 very social white-beaked dolphins, bow-riding and doing multiple jumps!

After multiple days of bad weather and cancelled tours, we left the harbour and navigated into the beautiful bay. We saw many birds and several people on the boat seemed convinced of having seen a whale fluke, but it was not possible to confirm the sighting, and therefore we offered everyone complimentary tickets, so they can join us another time.

Our morning tour saw 6 white-beaked dolphins and various birds, including puffins and northern gannets. By afternoon, the sea had calmed. We spotted a pod of 6-7 white-beaked dolphins frequently near the boat and observed about 20 northern gannets plunge diving. In the evening, despite light rain, we quickly found a playful pod of 7-10 white-beaked dolphins and two more on our way home!

We sailed out on a beautiful sunny morning, but unfortunately we didn't see any wildlife, so we offered complimentary tickets to all passengers. In the afternoon we quickly saw 2 minke whales from afar, then a third one got close to our front. We later also found 2 pods of 10 white-beaked dolphins. In the evening the sun was shining and after a while we found a pod of 6 very curious white-beaked dolphins.

This morning, we found about 40-55 white-beaked dolphins, a humpback whale, 7-9 minke whales and finally 2 harbour porpoises! In the afternoon we found a lunge feeding minke whale by the harbour, a few pods of up to 25 white-beaked dolphins, 3 harbour porpoises and some 12 minke whales! In the evening we saw 4 minke whales, 10 harbour porpoises and a humpback whale!

This morning we went out on two boats! We encountered 8-10 pods of about 35+ white-beaked dolphins and a total of 7 minke whales. In the afternoon we managed to spot 5 minke whales and 5 white-beaked dolphins. In the evening, we saw a total of 3 minke whales and 6-8 white-beaked dolphins, calmly enjoying our presence.
