Unfortunately we have to cancel the whale watching tours at 13:00 and 17:00 due to strong winds in Faxaflói bay. Please contact our ticket office for more information (e-mail: elding@elding.is / phone: +354 519 5000).

Tour at 9:00Report: We headed out from the harbour in Hafnarfjörður this morning, as the sea condition was supposed to be better there. As we got a little further out, the waves got bigger than the weather forcast had predicted, we searched a large area and ended our tour in Reykjavík, with out any sightings of whales. We did see some Nothern Gannets flying around, but they didn't seem to be feeding which could indecate that there's little food in the bay right now . All of our guests got complementary tickets which makes them able to come back on a tour with us for free in the next two years! We hope that they will use them and have better luck then, although this tour was quite a sea adventure. We hope that the Whales will be back soon and the weather will calm down. -Freydís Ósk Hjörvarsdóttir
