Today we will be operating on our lovely vessel Eldey for the 13:00 Classic Whale Watching tours. Make sure to dress appropriately for the tours as it is always colder on sea than on land.

CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00
Report from Eldey: We sailed out in really calm conditions in a beautiful light. As there were reports about a humpback whale that close to the harbour, we thought we would try out luck there first! We sailed close to the islands and saw a blow shortly after! It was being a bit tricky but with a lot of patience we found the humpback whale! It was taking quite long dives at first but came very close to the boat at times. It was a very special encounter as it is so rare to see the whale this close to land. We enjoyed our moments together for a bit and then took a circle to see if anything else to see. I did spot a small blow but could not find it another time. So after a bit of searching we sailed back home, the moon was rising on our right and the sun was setting on our left.
