Daily diary – May 4 2025

By Marine Guide · · Updated September 2, 2026

So we started the day with the same plan as yesterday, go to whale fjord and hope for the best. It was quite foggy and little bit cold but otherwise good sea conditions and all good. We went into the whale fjord and didn´t see anything except 30-50 harbour porpoises in the beginning so we went further and further in, and when we had lost hope finally a blow, not a huge one but a blow nonetheless. It was not showing much but we saw its fluke. Then soon after wee saw 2 more blows, and after that we were trying to decide which one we would like to explore but the were moving a lot and it was quite difficult to keep up where they were showing themselves.

So in the afternoon the fog went down a little bit and we went straight again into the whale fjord. We didn´t have to go as far into the whale fjord because we found two Humpback whales quite sooner than we thought we would. They showed their fluke frequently and were a delight to spot.
