• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 9:00, 13:00

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

Report from Eldey: As the sky was still waking up, we set sail excited to see which cetaceans we would find. Not long after making a passage by the last sea wall, we spotted a blow and as we got closer we could tell it was the famous humpback whale, Banana! Banana was chilling in the waves, spouting every now and then but also giving us the fluke. They see4med to be waking up with the sky, which allowed long surface intervals. After a while we went on a little circle around the islands, since there was a massive swell out there and we wanted to keep the journey comfortable for everyone. On our way back the same area as before, we saw a minke whale too! They came super close to us while they were feeding on some nice fresh breakfast fish. We even got to see those minke mittens! Banana was also around the corner but still sleepy and after this amazing time among the whales we went back in the harbour.
