Whalewatch Explorer - 10th August 2013

What an exciting trip, we didn't know which direction to look in at several points as there was so much going on! We had close views of 2 minke whales (one of which was Knobble!), around 10 basking sharks including phenomenal views of one as it swam alongside Sula Beag with its huge mouth wide open, very playful porpoise, sea eagle, diving gannets and a bonxie harassing a kittiwake for around 10 minutes! We also had time to stop off at the Cairns for lunch with the seals and terns
