Our 9am tour today was the maiden voyage of our new whale watching boat “Íris”! And how to better celebrate having a new boat than going out in the sunshine and watching lots of whales? The morning tour got to see a playful group of orcas, along with glimpses at a Minke whale and a single white-beaked dolphin. In the afternoon, we spotted the same group of orcas again. They were now travelling quite a bit, and after we had looked at them for a while, we ventured out into the deeper waters, where we spotted lots of sperm whale blows! There were at least 8 sperm whales in the area, and four of them lifted their flukes high up in the air. On the way home we even had the pleasure of seeing a Minke whale close up for a few surfaces. Looks like the new boat will bring us luck!
