Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: The sea had calmed a lot since the morning, and it was really clear. The first sighting of the tour was a pod of white-beaked dolphins that seemd to be feeding under a flock of birds, while following this pod we spotted

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: While we thought the wind picked up, it actually ended up being very nice out on the water. The clouds made the ocean that good coulour for spotting the darker coloured whales and dolphins. Once we had gotten a good distance away from th

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: Starting conditions were good with some sun. No sightings of cetaceans for the first hour and a half. Suddenly, we spotted a pod of around 3 White-beaked-dolphins breaching from around 1km away. They were jumpi

Report from Eldey: The weather was getting better with every trip today - at the evening the clouds covered sky again, but the sea was flat and it was warm enough to enjoy sailing without overalls. Unfortunately it was to calm evening on the bay -

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: The tour started with a little bit (quite a bit, actually!) of swell, as a shy example of the strong gale that will be beating us during all day tomorrow. We went really far away in this tour, just trying to spot the minkes and white bea

Tour at 17:00

Report from Elding: Wind picked up a bit more for our tour, and with this came slight choppiness but overall our spotting conditions remained untouched, with still good visibility and slow waves. Yet it took us time before spotting cetaceans, it was only i

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: It was a lovely afternoon as we sailed out into the bay, with flat seas and a warm wind. It didn´t take us long at all to spot the cetaceans today, we were barely 25 minutes out of harbour when we spotted large splashes in the distance.

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: Also our last tour today departed from Reykjavik. The sea was still very calm and we had a great view. The wind picked up compared to the other two tours of the day. Thus, we also got to enjoy a fresh breeze. We headed out to the area where we saw the do

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: WHAT a tour!! Words cannot express how awesome this tour was! On heading out the sea was lovely and flat but there was a very thick fog, Which made seeing far in the distance very difficult. Although, we couldn't´t see far into the dista

Report from Eldey: The weather kept improving and improving! Definitely the sea is going to look like a mirror in the next few days, we can't wait to enjoy it! This tour was, without any doubts, a dolphin tour. Almost right from the beginning we spotted th

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: On the very first 17.00 tour of this summer, we headed straight back to the area where we had seen the humpback whale on the previous tour. It took about 50 min to get, and when we approached the area, we slowed down to check it carefull

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Challenging would be a fit word to describe our today's only tour ! Seeing an improvement in the weather, we decided to try our luck out and we were pleasantly surprised by the sea state. It was quite calm, and the wind was also weak at

Tour at 13:00 

Report from Eldey: And we thought that the morning tour was hard to match... How wrong and naive we were! Well, it was clear that destiny was preparing us an outstanding experience. It all started with a breathtaking sea, calm as never, giving us the

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: After very rough sea and strong winds in the morning we had much better conditions. The sea calmed down and also the wind was not as strong anymore. So we had a nice ride to our main sighting area, enjoying the sun and the fresh

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: We sailed out, fearing that the condition would be rather choppy since we canceled the morning tour. However, it was actually quite a smooth and quiet sailing, with almost no wind or swell acting against us. The weather was, though, our

Tour at 13:00

Report from Elding: Snow gave us a good welcoming before we departure in our pursuit this afternoon. Our brave passengers stayed in the front line of battle while the weather gave us a harsh time. Nonetheless, the time came past and a more clear and nice w
