Tour at 13:00
Report from Eldey: Dry it is not a word to describe our afternoon tour. It was raining cats and dogs during the whole tour but most of our passengers didn´t fear anything and stayed for a long time in the upper deck. We sailed towards the south of Faxafloi and we encountered a nice pod of 4-5 harbour porpoises having fun while surfing the waves. Once we turned towards the west, we were about to give up when a nice pod of 8-10 white-beaked dolphins appeared out of the blue. They were socializing with each other, surfacing in a synchronized line and delighting us with their behavior. One of them was identified as Sophie, an individual who has been with us since 2013, more than 6 years Despite the rain, it was worthy to be out there.

Tour at 9:00
Report from Eldey: Not many people likes Mondays but today there was no need to be grumpy. Despite clouds and wind sea was still easy to sail and we had a lot of fun this morning. It takes around 50 minutes to spot some splashes in distance and once we get there white-beaked dolphins were jumping in all direction. There was so much going on that it was hard to decide where to look: dolphins jumping, tail slapping, bow ridding and hunting! This feeding behaviour taking place on surface was thrilling to watch, dolphins chasing some fish and noisy birds trying to also have their share, Even on our way back we were seeing more and more dolphins, almost ignoring them to make sure we are back at time.
