Status Tour 13:00: RUNNING
Tour at 13:00
Report from Eldey: A beautiful day with very little wind. The swell was high and long which can cause seasickness in some. It is always recommended to take the sea sickness tablet early (free at our ticket office) for best results. It was chilly even though little wind, so the overalls were in full use this afternoon also. It was a long time to see our first cetacean, a small pod of white-beaked dolphins 3-5 animals that were chilling out but elusive after a short while. They soon did a houdini and disappeared and unfortunately no other cetaceans were seen. Still the winter sunset and light was beautiful over the mountains. Due to the quick sightings of the dolphins, not everyone got to see them so we offered our passengers complimentary tickets to try again in the next two years.
