Today we will be operating on our lovely vessel Eldey for our Classic Whale Watching  tour. Make sure to dress according to weather, as it is usually colder at sea than on land.

  • CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 0900

Report from Eldey:  We set off this morning battling against some strong winds hoping to recreate another fantastic tour. We sailed around travelling close to land and the islands near Reykjavik due to all the whales that have been here over the last few months. On our journey we saw many whitecaps with birds flying above them including the majestic Northern gannet. We continued and unfortunately no cetaceans appeared. This was the story for our whole tour so we gave out complimentary tickets so our passengers can come back again to see some wonderful wildlife.
