Whale Diary

10:00 - This morning‘s tour was absolutely amazing! Our adventure kicked off with a brief stop at Lundey Island, where we were greeted by a flurry of puffin activity. They were swirling around in large groups, with some even carrying fish back to their chicks. It was a delightful sight for everyone. We then continued our journey, and as we neared the Whalefjord, we turned slightly towards the bay’s center and soon encountered 3 humpback whales, which gave us quite a show, slapping their flukes and fins and spending a lot of time on the surface. In the area there were also around 10 playful white beaked dolphins, which delighted us by riding the bow and repeatedly swimming beneath the boat.

12:00 - We sped off to start the afternoon straight towards where we had heard there were cetaceans this morning. After not too much time we saw 2 big blows close to another boat. They belonged to two feeding humpback whales! This pair regularly came up together lunge feeding. We also got to see them both go for beautiful fluke dives. At one point they both swam right underneath us which was so cool. After a great start to the tour we then carried on in search of other cetaceans. Instead we found bigger waves and many seabirds such as Arctic terns and Atlantic puffins. After searching we then headed back to our fantastic pair of humpbacks for another great sighting. After this we then headed to Lundey to see even more cute puffins in the sun.
