Humpback almost inside the harbour

Sometimes we don´t have to go far away from the harbour to find the whales. Last night when we were coming back to the harbour from the evening tour we found a Humpback whale almost inside the harbour. This was a fantastic end of a successful tour because erlier we spotted Blue whales, another Humpback and a group of White beaked dolphins.

It´s not very common to see such a big whale so close to land but we have seen it a few times before. It was great to see the Humpback swimming slowly in the midnight sun so close to land.
