CLASSIC WHALE WATCHING | 09:00

Report from Eldey: We departed the harbour into a bay with almost flat seas and a light breeze. We moved Southeast to search for wildlife, and soon were surprised by a pair of harbour porpoises, who surfaced slightly to our left, allowing many of our passengers to see them. However, as porpoises usually do, they quickly disappeared and we kept on with our journey. Soon after, we spotted two humpback whales, swimming some 500 meters apart from each other. We first spent some time with an larger humpback whale, watching it do very short dives. Then, we moved to the second humpback, a smaller individual, likely a juvenile, who was calmly swimming. Eventually, it was time to head back home, and we set course to Reykjavík. We even got lucky to see another pair of harbour porpoises on the way back!
