✔ TOUR ON SCHEDULE | 10:00
Report from Elding II: The weather was very inviting this morning! We headed out of the harbour over a quiet sea and a pleasant breeze. There was a lot of bird activity throughout the tour. Marine birds play a very important rule in our tours as they often indicate the presence of prey. During the course of the ride we encountered a couple of minke whales. Though our first encountered was very promising as the whale popped up really close to us, both individuals turned out to be very difficult to keep track of, changing direction very quickly and constantly going for long deeper dives. Though it seldom happens, sometimes our whales are simply not in the mood. Since however, this tour did not held up to our company standards, we offer all our passengers the chance to come back again for free, on another whale watching ride, during the 2 years. Hope to see them all again soon!
