✔ CLASSIC TOUR ON SCHEDULE | 13:00
Report from Elding: We begun the tour under a light rain but after a few miles away from Reykjavik it was an enjoyable weather and a calm pleasant sea. We first crossed the path of 3-4 harbour porpoises that only the best eyes could spot. We went far in the bay, in the same area where the whales were found yesterday. They were still there ! The captain first spotted a blow with the binoculars. We patiently approached that blow and find out that there was at least 5 humpback whales in this feeding area. The good visibility allowed us to see the whales fluke diving from far away under a beautiful light. They were looking very calm, breathing a few times before fluke diving and coming back again. After those good sightings we went back to Reykjavik and back to the rain.
