Whale Diary

12:00 - Thick clouds were hugging the mountains and a waves grey as lead rose up beneath us. This raw but stunning landscape unknowingly painted the perfect scene for the spectacle we were soon about to behold. Out of the grey a humpback whale suddenly emerged with great force as it lunged right in front of us! We witnessed one of natures most amazing displays as this humpback kept on lunge feeding over and over again, its mouth often so full of fish it spilled over from the edges. During this encounter half an hour felt like mere minutes as time flew by, leaving us all stunned by the shear power and grace that these animals hold.

16:00 - We started off the evening tour excited by the sun coming out meaning it got a bit warmer. To begin with we stopped at Engey to look at the puffins. Then we headed towards the bay to search for cetaceans. After a bit of searching we saw a blow in the glare. It was a humpback! It was likely feeding, it was coming up every couple of minutes and slightly arching the back. At one point it came really close, within just a few metres of us! We then headed home after a great tour.
