We started our day with grey skies yet a very flat fjord. The fjord was looking pretty quiet until we reached the shallow waters of Laufasgrunn where we could see in the distance a bast amount of birds feeding, when we arrived to the area we found so much like. Tones of Harbour porpoises in between 2 Humpback whales who were actively feeding and 1 Minke whale. Needles to say it was an amazing sight to be able to observe so many different animals feeding close by. After a while however, we decided to try an locate more wild like, and we found 2 Minke whales N Hjalteyri who decided to be very curious around us, coming unbailable close to the boat.

During the afternoon tours we headed north to try and fins these food hot spot. But no one was there. So we sailed a little bit further north where we found Proppy, the Humpback whale, next to Grenevík. But on the way back we also saw multiple minke whales 1 in Laufasgrunn, another one N Hjalteyri, and one more N of Svalbarðseyri.
