Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Finally the wind calmed down and we could venture out in the bay. The swell was still quite high and caused a few green faces during the tour. We saw lots of seabirds and 3 pods of harbour porpoises (maybe between 2-3 animals in each pod) but unfortunately no dolphins or whales so we gave our passengers complimentary tickets for another whale watching tour in the next 2 years. It was still nice to be out on the water enjoying the beautiful landscape and commentary.
