✔ TOUR ON SCHEDULE | at 13:00
Report from Eldey: We woke up in winter wonderland today. Everything was under cover of a fresh fluffy snow, trees, streets, houses and our boat – everything looked magic. And more snow was falling when we were preparing for departure. Fortunately it stopped when we were about to leave and for the rest of the afternoon we had great visibility. We sailed between islands surrounded by sea birds when some dark shapes appeared next to us. They were fast and hard to spot but with just one look we identified them as harbour porpoises. There were maybe 4 of them and they distracted our attention so well that we almost missed a blow. Strong column of vapour coming from whale’s nostrils is hard to not be noticed. Humpback whale was just swimming, moving around, maybe looking for something to eat. Whale was going for regular dives and soon we were able to predict when we are going to see whale’s tail next time. All of us were holding breathe when whale was arching back and with loud “woooooow” we were expressing our excitement when tail was up again. It was a great fun to have such involved people around and to experience wonders of whale watching together.
