Summer has arrived in the form of strong southern winds. It is a lot warmer, but whenever you faced south during the tours your face almost got blown away. Luckily we headed north on our way out and during the morning tour we spotted a Humpback whale. The animal was behaving a bit tricky diving for long periods of time, but the second Holmasol turned back it decided to take a jump. The people on the Express tour got a great view of the jump and luckily also people on the classic tour were still looking towards the back and spotted the breach. In the afternoon the wind had become too strong for our express tour to go out, however, the classic was able to go out and we were very happy we could. We found two Humpback whales around Hauganes swimming side by side. We stopped the boat and they decided to come and check us out, popping up all around the boat incredibly close. When we tried to leave they kept coming up right in front of us giving us no choice but to spent some more time enjoying watching them.
