A good day to you all. We started the day under clouds in a windless fjord.
Fortunately for us, it turned really fast, wen we font an amazing floc of Northern Gannets flying around and plunge diving, all together with some Great Northern Divers but of course that was not all since all of the sudden a little further north from Svalbarðseyri 2 Humpback Whales surfaced at the same time, and after a while to give them space we kept sailing and close to Hjalteyri we found also 2 Minke Whales. And in the afternoon it was even better we were sailing on a sunny Eyjafjörður, when we encountered quite close to Hjalteyri 2 Humpback Whales, but that was not all because wen we where going back super close to the shallows of Svalbarðseyri we found 2 more Humpback Whales.

So the total count of species for the day was a couple of Harbour Porpoises, 2 Minke Whale and 4 Humpback Whales

Departures of the day: Classic tour - 0900 & 1300 o’clock, Express tour - 1000 & 1400 o’clock
