Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The wind had picked up a little bit since the morning tour. The rain still kept us company so we made good use of the flotation overalls that we provide. This tour soon proved to be very difficult. We had sailed for a long time before we

Tour at 13:00

We had lovely weather and after about 45mins of sailing we meet with a big pod of white-beaked dolphins, a group or about 5-6 animals that were travelling at about 6-7knots, they came faster towards us and then carried on at a steady

Report from Eldey: The weather was still unfortunately quite miserable and the visibility got worse but that didn´t hinder the excitement of being out on the Icelandic seas in search for leviathans. White-beaked dolphin were the highlights of today´s tour

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The visibility was amazing this afternoon and the sun was shining during most parts of the tour. We could easily see the Snæfellsjökull volcano at the tip of the peninsula north of us. For a moment it felt that the summer was back, but t

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The wind had picked up a little on the afternoon but the sun was warm on our faces with the south westerly winds. It was very bitter on the way home so our passengers had the yummy whale punch (hot chocolate with run) to warm themselves

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The wind had picked up during the day and resulted in unexpectedly high swells. They made the tour pretty bumpy and many passengers had green faces after a short while. We sailed towards the west first, and then headed further south when

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The weather alternated between light rain and cloudy sky. The sea conditions got even better than this morning so it was almost flat sea. We searched a little bit more south than the previous tour. After one and half hour without any sig

Report from Eldey: The sky had cleared and it kept dry the whole tour. On this tour we had to sail far out to find animals. After nearly 2 hours searching we finally saw splashes even further out. We soon saw the splashes were from jumping white be

Report from Eldey: The sailing was a little smoother on the way out this afternoon, the swell had dies down but unfortunately the wind was picking up and it became quite blustery on the journey home. Two minke whales were spotted on this t

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The swell had calmed down a little bit since this morning making the ride a bit rocky but still very comfortable. After about an hour of sailing we were informed about a group of white-beaked dolphins that another whale

Report from Eldey: The weather conditions during this tour were similar to this morning, just the wind picked up during the tour. It took a little while to encounter cetaceans, but after about 1 hour and 15 min we spotted a group of 8-9 white-beake

Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had picked up this afternoon so there was a few splashes coming over the boat so some passengers had a North Atlantic shower but most didn´t mind as they were wearing floatation suits. The scenery was stunning with a freshly

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Just like the morning tour we sailed out from Keflavík to get shelter from the worst swells in the south western winds. All though the conditions had improved a little bit, the swells were still rolling high when we got further out. We s

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: For the same reason than this morning, we departed from Keflavik for the second and last tour of this day. Because we came back from the first tour this tour empty-handed, we were fiercely motivated to spot some whales ! Shortly after le

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: During the tour we had a light rain showering us from start to end. Good thing that our overalls that we offer all passengers kept us dry. Other than rain we had an overcast sky and medium swells. We wanted to head straight out towards t

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: It was getting windier and the swells were higher than on the morning tour. We found  a pod of 3-4 white beaked dolphins early on the tour. They were difficult to follow and spent a long time under water. After we l

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Weather was merciful when we started this tour. There was less wind than the forecast expected, and we were not cold. Even in these optimal conditions and with good visibility, it took us a lot of time before spotting our first pod of
