THREE BLUE WHALES IN THE BAY
THREE BLUE WHALES have entered our bay. No one knows for how long they will stay but they are out there at this very moment. Passengers on board our boats are watching the world's biggest animals. You can get the chance too, with us at Gentle Giants.

SAILING AGAIN (1)
After storm comes sunshine - whale watching tours will depart today according to schedule - 8:45-9:45-12:00-13:15-15:15-16:45 and 20:15. We will even add another extra GG7 Big Whale Safari tour today on our RHIB Amma Sigga so tours will depart at 12:30-17:00 and 19:00. The bay has still been very lively with humpback whales on our last tours - and hopefully will continue like that.

VIDEO OF DREAM ENCOUNTER
Sometimes we ask ourselves "Who is actually watching who...?". In this video you see a curious minke whale during one of our Big Whale Safari tours. It is recorded by our guide Elin. She says it was swimming back and forth like this for ten minutes, just investigating who they were.

A WONDERFUL LETTER
The other day we got an email which we are very happy for: "Dear Gentle Giants Team, We have been on your GG7 tour on the 7th of june and would like to thank you for the wonderful experience. We've been very lucky to spot the first whales just outside the harbour, but then luck turned its back to us leaving us with no sightings for a couple of hours.

PUFFINS NOW INCLUDED IN THE BIG WHALE SAFARI
"The Clowns of the Ocean" is what we sometimes call the puffins, because of their clumsiness above the surface and their big colourful beaks. Those birds are so popular by our guests that we have decided to include a stop by the Puffin Island during the Big Whale Safari tour.

EYE CONTACT WITH A WHALE
Have you ever dreamt of looking into a whale’s eye? It is something extraordinary getting the chance to see it. On yesterday’s trip our passengers got this chance. On the morning tour most of the humpback whales that were in the bay were sleeping.
