Today we had a magical whale tour in Gavlfjorden here in Vesterålen. 

Several fin whales were feeding in the fjord. We saw herring jumping out of the water and the fin whales lunging into the shoals. Four fin whales came very close to the boat. We also encountered three playful humpback whales. They were lob-tailing, fluking and slapping with their flippers, not minding us watching nearby.  

The sun has finally returned. It was peeking behind the mountains and colored the landscape in shades of red, orange and yellow. Tomorrow we head out again to look for more whales.
