We found a total of 8 humpbacks whales (maybe even more) and soon we also found 20 white-beaked dolphins feeding among them - we were so busy we almost missed out a minke whale passing behind us! In the afternoon we saw 4-5 humpback whales occasionally lunge feeding and rolling.

    It was windy this morning, but the sun was shining in between the clouds. We explored many areas, and saw many birds; even puffins!

Due to unfavourable conditions, the afternoon tour was cancelled!
