Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: What a huge surprise the bay was going to offer us today! Almost as soon as we left the harbour we encountered some really nice white beaked dolphins! It was meant to be the first of three different encounters we were going to have in the bay. And there were around 15 different individuals. Even though we  could not read completely the behaviour, we thought they could have been searching for food, socializing or even mating. A few of them even started to jump and leap after a while. We moved on just to encounter the other two pods, of about 6-7 each one of them, and again, we got to see them jumping in the distance. No whales yet, but judging the amount of nice dolphins we enjoyed today looks like good times are about to come to the Faxa bay!

The temperature will be around -2°C. We have heated indoor areas on board but we also have overalls to keep you warm out on deck. We are looking forward to welcoming you to our tour!
