Report from Eldey: The weather did not charge for the whole tour, poured it down but everyone was in great spirits and enjoyed the tour nonetheless. The swell was a little challenging for some and there was a few green faces but eveyones attention moved to the awesome white-beaked dolphins. First we saw maybe 3-4 individuals and then more and more came to socialise with us. Playing under and around the vessel, it is always amazing to see wild animals interact with us and today was no exception. It was so much fun watching them leap and travel along side the boat. On the way home we also encountered another two small pods and all in all we must have seen at least 15 - 20 dolphins, all having a great time. The birdlife was also great with so many differnt species. Unfortunately due to the pouring rain it was hard to photograph it all but fun to watch.
