Whale Diary

10:00 - This morning we had no wind and big, slow waves made the sea look glassy. We saw an incredible humpback whale, which we were able to stick around with for a while as it went for quick dives. During this time, it also surprised us with a peduncle throw and a lunge feed, what a show it was! Then, on our way back, we were stopped in our tracks by the sighting of a pod of 10-12 White beaked dolphins. They came to check us out curiously and 2 even jumped multiple times out of the water! What a succesful morning tour it was!

14:00 - The sea remained glassy through noon and we returned to the same conditions as this morning. Soon enough, we were greeted by one minke whale, and we could even see its white jaw poke through the water. Shortly after, we heard rumors of another whale spotted in another area so we decided to investigate. Sure enough, there it was, a lone humpback whale! We watched as the humpback whale broke through the surface every time it took a breath, even giving us an up-close view of an old, healed scar it had on its right side when it surfaced incredibly close to us a few times! After a while watching this beautiful humpback whale, it was time to leave. On the way back, we stopped at an island full of puffins to admire these stunning seabirds!
