    The sea is rough, its cold and windy and cloudy. At the beginning of the tour we didnt see any whales, we started to be disapointed, but after a while we finelly spotted a Minke whale. It was just a short moment and then it disappeared. But later we got an amasing view: brea

    The wind had picked up quite a bit and so it was a bit more difficult for us to spot the whales. We found a Minke whale which surfaced a couple of times very close to the boat but didn't see it again. We also found 2 groups of white-beaked dolphins which were, as always, gre

    The wind had picked up... a lot! We sailed out to the area where we have been for the past few weeks, all the time sailing against some very big waves, so it was a rough ride out there. We slowed down the boat and spotted a Minke whale which surfaced a few times before going

    The wind dropped down a lot. A very nice and realxing tour we had. A lot of minke whales, at least 10-15 individuals surfacing all around, some busy in lunge feeding, and we could see them rolling under the water to entrap the fish. Birds were great as well: a lot of feeding

    The wind had picked up a bit this evening, so it was more difficult for us to spot the whales. Luckily the whale blows were very visible and we sighted at least 4 minke whales. We also spotted a couple of very lively white-beaked dolphins in the distance, jumping and making

    The whales were still out there, lots of Minke whales and the Humpback. They were not feeding as actively as this morning, actually we observed the Humpback whale for most of the trip, it was very difficult to take our eyes off it. It was swimming very calmly all around the

    The sea was still very rough. Visibility was ok. There was the last tour for the Puffin island, there were just few of them left, but still many on the sea. A Minke whale surprised us just next to our boat, very close, but very short visible. Later there were just few Minke

    Again there were plenty of Gannets and other sea birds out there and we found a few Minke whales as well. We could see the blow of the Minke whales quite easily in these weather conditions, and there were plenty out there, but quite difficult to approach. We had a great enco

    It is little bit windy but sunny and great visibility. We very soon spotted a Minky whale, later three of them, but they were still far, maybe 150 metres and fast traveling. Then we were lucky and one approached our boat so close, that we could almost touch it. And also one

    Report from Hafsúla: The weather was beautiful, sunny and clear, but the wind was blowing a bit more than this morning. We sailed far out on the bay and were able to spot some minke whales! They were not very easy to follow, coming up to the surface only once or twice before
