Today we will be operating on our lovely vessel Eldey for the 9:00 Classic Whale Watching tour. Make sure to dress appropriately for the tours as it is always colder on sea than on land.

• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 9:00
• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

COVID-19: Keep in mind that passengers and crew are asked to ensure their own hygiene and safety at all times. Washing hands thoroughly with soap and using a hand sanitiser is advised.  

Report from Eldey: We set sail this morning with the sun rising behind us, giving us a gorgeous start to the day. There was a little bit of swell as we sailed further out but soon we reached our current favourite spot where our humpack friends have been feeding the last few days. As we approached I saw two blows in the distance! The humpack whales were still here! There were definitely two but potentially a secret third. We will find out when we do our photo-identification. We enjoyed these two whales, both of which came so close that you could hear them! After time ran out we headed back to harbour this time with a little more swell.
