Today's Classic Whale Watching tours from Reykjavík are on schedule. Remember to dress according to weather and feel free to borrow our thermal overalls if needed!

Report from Eldey: While it is was quite windy and the sea had a bit of swell, the sun managed to peek through the clouds and warm our faces. We had another succesful morning as we saw no less than 5 humpback whales during our tour. First, we arrived in an area with 3 whales; a pair and a more elusive third whale were swimming around and so we focused our attention on the pair. We stayed with them for a bit but as the area got crowded quite quickly we went onwards to search more wildlife. the first individual we encountered was going on quite long dives but then another individual caught our eye. This whale turned out to be Neila! Our gentle humpback that has been visiting us for 7 summers now. She treated us to short dives and many flukes, leaving us with the perfect ending for our tour!

Report from Eldey: The sunny skies, strong winds and sort waves made our journey enjoyable. At the begging of our tour around a mile from Akurey island we crossed paths with a pot of four harbor porpoises that surfaced 3 times just enough for our gests to spot them so we could understand the big difference of the size comparison to the whales. Soon after we spotted a blow for a humpback whale that was feeding with a pot of 6 white beaked dolphins. It was an amazing sighting we stayed to enjoy it for a good amount of time and later we found two more blows. The blows where from two humpback whales a mother and her calf. So special and unique experience. They where cruising together treating as with fluke dives. After this amazing sighting we started our way back to port. On our way back we came across another pot of harbor porpoises.
