Report from Elding: We started our last trip of the day with a tons of hope in our hearts, the day had been wonderful for whale watching so we were expecting everything tonight. We sailed for a while into the bay but what we found was a big mist coming fro

Report from Elding: Finally weather was fine: no rain, no swell, no wind. Even with overcast sky we were able to enjoy sailing trough calm sea. This time we decided to try something new and we try another path. We sailed along Reykjaness peninsula almost a

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: the wind had picked up and the sun was hidden behind the clouds but still the conditions were nice. We sailed out but it was difficult to find the cetaceans. We did get a really quick look at a minke whale that surfaces

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: It was bumpy on the way out, we sailed into the wind so the swells splashed over the boat making it challenging to move around the boat. We had sailed for only 30 minutes when we spotted our first minke whale. At first

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: This tour had two chapters, one with adventures and another with relaxing. The sea was choppy at the beginning when we were sailing in the opposite direction of wind, but it was also kind of fun to jump over the waves and felt like on t

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: Still choppy seas were waiting for us in the bay. For almost one hour we sailed across the northern shore, getting as much shelter as we could. Then we adventured ourselves inside the bay and we spotted a few blows in the distance, but

Report from Elding: What an amazing midnight tour we had! The sea was calm, sky overcast but we had a little window from where we received some rays from the midnight sun. But the tour was about cetaceans and this evening we were blessed

Tour 20:30

Report from Elding: Midnight tours are always special, not just because of live music but also because during night the boat traffic is reduced so it´s very quiet and relaxing to sail under low sun. Tonight sky was mostly covered by clouds but we still could

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: The wind had picked up a little so the water was a bit more choppy so it was a little more challenging to spot the animals than on the earlier tour. Even so we got great views of the cetaceans this evening, and all four species see

Report from Elding: What a whale trip! It was just awesome, but let´s start from the beginning. We left the harbour with the sky totally cover by clouds,it didn´t seem to be the perfect time for a midnight sun tour. But things slightly cha
