This morning we were able to sail out for the first time in a few days hoping to see some marine wildlife. Not too long after leaving the harbour it started to snow. Around this same time we also saw a harbour porpoise, then about 10 white-beaked dolphins before we also got a quick glimpse at a minke whale!
Due to rough weather in the bay, we have decided to CANCEL all our whale watching tours today!
Due to weather, we were only able to sail at 13:00 today. It was very cold in the bay and we could even see the snow on top of the mountains surrounding the bay. It took us a while before we spotted some fins in the distance which turned out to be a pod of white beaked dolphins!
We had a pod of about 10 white-beaked dolphins in the morning, which we also saw in the afternoon, along with a single minke whale which saw for a few surface sequence before returning back to shore!
After a bit of sailing we spotted about 7 white beaked dolphins in the morning, we then noticed a bigger blow a little further out but it wasn't seen again, so we offered complimentary tickets to all passengers. In the afternoon we presumably saw the same pod of white-beaked dolphins and then a minke whale shining in the sun!
Despite a great encounter with white-beaked dolphins in the morning, we decided to offer all our passengers complimentary tickets. In the afternoon we came across a minke whale close to the shoreline, then a lone harbour porpoise and around 20 active white beaked dolphins!
On today's tours we encountered up to 30 active white-beaked dolphins, a lone harbour porpoise which surfaced a lot around the back of our boat, about 3 minke whales that only surfaced a couple times and then a beautiful humpback whale!
Today we had a bit of a swell, but the sun was shining and lifting our spirits! We spotted a couple of minke whales, a pod of about 8 jumping white-beaked dolphins and additionally in the afternoon we also saw a few different pods of harbour porpoises.
Due to unfavourable weather conditions in the bay, all whale watching tours have been CANCELLED today!
This morning we had an encounter with about 5 white-beaked dolphins and 2 minke whales in the same area. In the afternoon we also spotted a minke whale and some white-beaked dolphins, however due to the sightings being very quick, we decided to give out complimentary tickets!
This morning we saw 4 minke whales (1 breached straight in front of us), a pod of harbour porpoises and about 15 white beaked dolphins. In the afternoon we saw the same species as the morning tour, but due to the elusiveness of the majority of our sightings we gave our passengers complimentary tickets!
Today we saw a total of about 12-15 white beaked dolphins, a couple of minkes surfacing regularly whilst they fed as well as a few harbour porpoises in the same area.
Today we had about 4 minke whales some of them coming quite close to the boat, a small pod of 6-7 white-beaked dolphins and at least 5 harbour porpoises!
Today we found a pod of 4 harbour porpoises, a pod of 7 white-beaked dolphins and at least a total of 3 minke whales in all, that we managed to see scattered around us, some even coming up to the boat and swimming close by.
Due to the strong winds we headed towards mt. Esja for protection. On our way, we spotted 2 harbour porpoises and soon after we saw a minke whale. In the afternoon we did manage to spot a blow or two but didn't manage to see the individual producing it. We therefore decided to give out complimentary tickets to our passengers!
Beautiful weather in the bay today, despite the cold air and signs of an early winter. We encountered a pod of 6 white beaked dolphins and about 5 minke whales, roaming around and feeding. In the afternoon, in addition to that, we also saw a couple of harbour porpoises, but due to the difficult sightings we offered our guests complimentary tickets.
