10:00 - The sun was shinning today, there was no clouds due to the winds beeing stronger. This winds were creating some waves so we had to go slower today for the crew to not get a lot of splashes. When we arrived to the middle of the bay we had to animals in the area 1 Minke whale and 1 humpback whale. The star of the show was clearly the humpback because was tail throwing. This massive animal was throwing his tail from one side to the other on the surface of the water creating a lot of splashes and movement. After doing this behaviour for a couple of times eventually started the normal behaviour of breathing at the surface and going for a dive showing his beautiful fluke to us. This individual dived a couple of times and eventually we had to say goodbye and start to go to the harbour, finishing another great tour.
