Today we will be operating our Classic Whale Watching on our lovely vessel Eldey at 9:00, 13:00 and 17:00 and our Premium Whale Watching on Þruma at 10:00, 11:00, 14:00 and 15:00

• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 9:00, 13:00, 17:00
• PREMIUM WHALE TOUR | 10:00, 11:00, 14:00, 15:00

Report from Eldey: We sailed out with a beautiful and sunny day expecting to see some cetaceans. Although it was a bit cold, and we decided to wear our overalls. During the trip, we saw many flocks of Arctic terns and that means one thing: FOOD! The fact that they were there would be related to whales feeding in the area. However, we didn't had the opportunity to see them there so we decided to continue our trip. After exploring other hot spots and keeping in contact with other boats to possible sightings, we didn't manage to see anything, so we decided to give out complimentary tickets, so the passengers will have the opportunity to come again and spot something in our bay.

Report from Eldey: We sailed out again this afternoon hoping to get our fist sightings. Quite quickly we saw 2 minke whales, but none of them were close enough for us to all have a good sight. Later on, a third minke got close, straight in front for all to see this beautiful whale. As we continued roaming around the bay, we finally found 2 pods of 10 white beaked dolphins. These were a lot more curious, getting close to our bow and hopping out to the surface. As we ran out of time, the dolphins jumped out a last couple of times showing their white snouts and body to all, before we happily headed back to harbour, enjoying a couple of flocks of Atlantic puffins on the way.

Report from Eldey: today we all took our sunglasses out for this last tour. The sun was shining, the sea was calmer than the rest of the day, and we were ready to spot the cetaceans! When we sailed out this time in the bay, we  went right to the center, a spot where we had seen some dolphins in the previous tour. After a while looking for them, we finally found them! It was a pod of 6 white-beaked dolphins, very curious, and although we had other 2 small boats close, these dolphins went to every single one to say hello. When they got to our boat, they stayed extremely close, and we could follow it through the surface! Even when we decided to continue, they started following us, speeding up and bow riding! After this, we explored other areas but we were running out time, so we started heading back to the harbour, feeling the weak winds on our faces.
