CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 0900

Report from Eldey: We set off this morning with the sun shining in our faces. The wind was quite strong from the north but we still wanted to find our favourite cetaceans. Having seen many cetaceans around the islands over the last few months we decided to start by checking out these areas before heading in the direction of Hvalfjörður. We did see many birds including gannets and fulmars but unfortunately no cetaceans appeared between the many whitecaps from the ocean. So, we gave out complimentary tickets so everyone can come back again and hopefully luck will be more on our side.

Bird species encountered today include:

Northern gannet, Northern fulmar, greylag geese, common guillemot, black guillemot, glaucous gull, great black backed gull, lesser black backed gull and Great cormorant
