Whale Diary

11:00 - Today we finally had beautiful weather! Bright sunny skies and calm seas! Perfect for whale watching. We headed out on 2 boats and soon found a humpback whale. This humpback was a little difficult to follow because it was feeding and was travelling a lot on its deeper dives. However, while we were waiting for the humpback we were treated to minke after minke! Over the whole tour, we saw at least 6 minkes. Some were closer and some further but we managed to get a good look at most of them. We also saw a pod of 5 harbour porpoises that came unusually close to the boat. We were especially lucky to see the humpback lunge feeding once which was amazing!

14:00 - We set out again on this glorious day looking for more cetaceans. Just like in the morning we got very lucky and saw many different individuals. Across the trip we probably saw 4-5 minke whales along with 2 humpback whales! They were probably all feeding along with many seabirds as well. A few of the minkes came really close to us which was really nice! The humpbacks, as in the morning, were going for longer dives but this just made it even more exciting and special when they came back up!
