Short Description
The safari begins with a presentation where one of our guides will inform you about the tour, safety on-board and the animals we can expect to encounter. We head towards the underwater canyon of Bleik, in search of the highlight of the whale-watching tour - the sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus).
There are at least 10 different whale species that are found in the area, including:
Each safari is different, which makes the experience even more exciting! When we set out from the harbor, we never know exactly what kind of whales wait for us at the sea on that particular day. On the way back, we will serve you a hot meal: our delicious fish soup or vegetarian soup. The soups contain local supplies and self-collected herbs. You can enjoy the boat ride and magnificent landscapes while summing up the experiences of the safari with our friendly crew.
The last stop on our whale safari is the island of Anda. Here we will take you close to the bird cliffs, which are home to thousands of seabirds. We will also go close to the flat rocks north of the island to see if we find harbour seals resting on the rocks.
Some of the bird species you can expect to see include:
White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla)
Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica)
Cormorant and European shag (Phalacrocorax carbo and Phalacrocorax sinensis)
Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla)
Common guillemot (Uria aalge)
Razorbill (Alca torda)
Whale Guarantee:
Our safari success rate is around 95 %, but occasionally, it happens that we fail to spot any whales (we are dealing with nature, after all). For such rare days, we have a whale guarantee: If we do not see whales, guests who are interested can join another safari free of charge.
In this case, the guests need to contact the reception and we will do a rebooking for them.
Our tour begins with an informative briefing, ensuring your safety and anticipation of potential wildlife encounters. We then set sail towards the Bleik canyon. Were on a mission to introduce you to the majestic sperm whale, amidst other vibrant sea dwellers like orcas, humpbacks, and various dolphin species.
