Whale Diary

11:00 - We headed out with nice weather conditions and soon we found our first cetacean. A Minke Whale accompanied with 4 Harbor Porpoises. They were surfacing a few times, so we could have a nice look at them and then they disappeared. So we moved on to find something even bigger. 2 Humpback Whales. One of them was quite difficult to see, so we followed the other one and this one was really nice, it surfaced a lot of times and showed us its' fluke every time. But as always, all good thing must come to an end, so we headed back to the harbor, with happy guests and happy crew.

14:00 - This afternoon we sailed out, still with nice weather and nice sees. We headed straight out into Faxa floi, eager to find some wildlife. Puffins and eider ducks flew past us on the way out and only a short sail we spotted a big blow on our right - we had found a humpback whale! This individual came extremely close to us, first it did not fluke but then we spoilt by them! We stayed with it for a bit but eventually decided to head on and respect its space. We sailed on a little further and then found a pod of 7-9 white beaked dolphins! They were a very relaxed and friendly pod, coming up quite close to us. We even spotted a mother and calf! Starting to be a little pressed for time we decided to head back, stopping at Akurey on the way home. Here once again we were surrounded by puffins, what a wonderful end to this amazing tour!
