5 white-beaked dolphins and a humpback whale

Home / whale diaries / 5 white-beaked dolphins and a humpback whale

 We had a wonderful sunshine cruise this morning, and spotted two groups of about 5 white-beaked dolphins and a humpback whale. The first group of dolphins was rather shy, so we soon left them to go on a long search in Breiðafjörður, until we encountered both humpback whale and the second group of dolphins together in the same area on the way home. These dolphins were more playful and started jumping parallel to the boat, and were racing under the bow, and back and forth on both sides of the vessel. Towards the end of the encounter, the humpback whale approached the boat closely, and showed us the fluke shortly while going for a deeper dive. A great finish!
