The first humpback whale of the season

Crew and passangers on Náttfari this morning had a lovely surprise when a humpback whale was spotted. This is the first tour of the season where a humpback whale is seen.

The humpback whale seemed to be feeding but was quite relaxed and everybody got a really good look.

 

Three minke whales were also spotted so it was indeed a successful tour.

 

Following are pictures from the tour taken by guide Thordis.
