Whale Watching Blog

Today was an absolutely amazing day.

Today I went on my first two trips of this summer. This is my second year with North Sailing and I was a little rusty but it quickly came back to me.

The summer is here and the sun is shining.  The whales seem find this most agreeable, and in the last few days we've had great success in our tours.  We've seen a variety of species such as the Humpback whale, the Minke whale, White-Beaked dolphins as well as the magnificent Blue whale!

At 13:00 I came down to the pier and waited for our boat, Bjössi Sör, to return from the morning trip. Guide Christian said it was probably one of the best whale watching tour he had ever been on.

This morning we saw another humpback whale breach close to the boat, the second day in a row! And also in the afternoon a humpback whale was breaching very close to the boat.

Yes, today at 13:30 some 9 lucky passengers left the harbour with us and they sure did not know what they had coming! We found a nice humpback whale after about 40 mins which we followed for a while, or until we spotted another blow a bit further north. The wind had picked up quite a lot but we decided to go and take a look at that whale anyway.

This morning was one of the best whale watching tours this season so far. In perfect conditions, three different species were spotted: white-beaked dolphins, two humpback whales and a minke whale.

There was excitement when we heard that two Humpback Whales had been spotted this morning by local fishermen.
