10:00 - This morning the weather conditions was just perfect. Only 5 minutes after the tour started the first animals started to appear. A pod of white beaked dolphins around 7 of them came super close to the boat and even ride the waves formed by the boat. They were jumping very close to the boat and everyone was enjoying them. After the dolphins we went further away to try to find the humpbacks, and we did! Everything was in this area 2 humpbacks whales, white beaked dolphins and countless minke whales. All the animals were feeding and having the biggest breakfast and we were watching everything. After quite some time we had to start to head back after a very succesfull whale watching trip.

12:00 - After a s top to Engey to s ee puffin breeding we went further out to find the whales. We needed to go quite far to find the humpback that were in the bay in the last few days. On our way we crossed 2 harbour porpoises and maybe 10 minke whales. We found the humpback whale Davy Jones that was feeding on sand eels. It was amazing to see this large whale eating the mouth open with the fish trying to escape. There was also 8 white-beaked dolphins that came to our boat curious and social. There was also puffin and guillemots in the area feeding as well and the minkes where visible popping here and there during the tour.

14:00 - We headed straight toward the area where we had seen whales earlier in the day. 15 minutes into the ride we saw a pod of friendly white beaked dolphins. There was about 5 of them jumping by our boat and bow riding. We saw them for a very nice moment but continued our way toward the open sea hopefully to spot other species too. Then 15 minute ride later we saw a humpback whale ! There was in fact not just a humpback whale, but 2 individuals around, one known as Davy Jones the II and another one that we saw for a few surface sequences and also saw their tails as they went down for deeper dives. With the humpback whales there was also some minke whales, a good 5 at least around us. Even some dolphins came back at some point with the other species. It was with these very nice sighting that we finished our trip.

16:00 - We started directly by heading toward the area where we had seen the previous animals. We first stopped by some minke whales, we saw quite a lot in one area, at least 10 just around appearing and disappearing. While observing these lovely tiny whales, we noticed a bigger blow in the distance : It was a humpback whale ! This one is the one we know as Davy Jones the II, it was feeding and also traveling quite fast in the area. We got some very nice looks on this individual feeding belly upside down and rolling on its side. We also got very nice views on some minke whales, we also travelled in the area to see a few more minke whales around, some of them quite close to our boat. We then came back to this humpback whale, observed it a few times and we headed to shore. All in all a very nice trip with very flat seas.

20:00 - Again the sea conditions were perfect with a nice evening sunlight. We visited different areas crossing in total 3 pods of 5-8 white-beaked dolphins and 10-15 minke whales. We looked for the humpback from today but could not find it so we spent more time with the dolphins that were coming to check us and doing some cute jumps. Minke whales were feeding and we saw one surfacing very abruptly with its whole body at the surface and close to the boat.  After a last few minutes with dolphins and a curious calf we went back home.
