Morning tour

The day started with a bit of cloud cover, but the sea was beautifully calm as we headed out into the bay! It didn’t take us long to find our first big highlight of the morning—a magnificent humpback whale that put on a wonderful show for everyone on board. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, a lively pod of dolphins joined us shortly after, swimming alongside the boat and giving our passengers an unforgettable close-up encounter.

Afternoon tour

A bit of rain rolled in for the afternoon tour, but thanks to the very calm sea conditions, visibility remained excellent for spotting wildlife. The trip was absolutely packed from start to finish! We started by spending some quality time with another beautiful humpback whale. Not far away, a minke whale surfaced right next to us—it was incredibly close to the boat, giving everyone a thrilling look at its sleek body! The dolphins made another welcome appearance, treating us to their playful acrobatics. To top off a brilliant trip, we even spotted a small group of harbour porpoises surfacing quietly on the way back to the harbour.

Another incredible day out on the water with some of the bay’s finest residents! Guides: Vitek and Isabella
