 TOUR ON SCHEDULE | 17:00

Report from Eldey: The weather held up during this tour, providing quite a comfortable ride. This journey was a proper "whale parade". By the end of tour we saw at least 7 minke whales. These lovely giants were popping up everywhere! Adding up the 2 pods of around 6 to 10 harbor porpoises that we could also observe through the course of tour, this was defenetely a ride to remember!

 TOUR ON SCHEDULE | 13:00

Report from Eldey: The weather continued to be fantastic. Calm sea conditions, beautiful lighting and the sun peaking from begind the clouds. It didn't take us long to start spotting cetaceans on this tour. There were some harbour porpoises on our starboard side. One of many we saw on this tour. It was hard to count how many we saw on this tour, but a fair estimate woud be somwhere between 20 and 40 individuals depending on wether we saw the same individuals upon returning or not. The other cetacean species we saw was also plentiful on this tour. 5-7 minke whales were spotted along different stages of the tour, some coming as close as 20 meters away from us. It was a spectacular tour that left none indifferent.

 TOUR ON SCHEDULE | 09:00

Report from Eldey: We could not have started the day under a more pleasant weather. The wind was nothing but a small breeze and sea as smooth as silk. The conditions were perfect for spotting. Through the course of tour we had multiple sightings. We started by observing a pod of 5 to 6 harbour porpoises, traveling alongside our vessel for a few minutes. Later on we enjoyed a the presence of 4 minke whales, that were feeding around us, occasionally resurfacing quite close to our vessel. Another mission accomplished!
