• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

Report from Eldey and Hafsulan: On this wonderful Christmas Eve we set off on two boats full of excited passengers, with Hafsulan going first.  We had a whirlwind of a tour with a couple of blizzards, many seals and a couple whales. At many points throughout the tour we had seals bottling. The best sightings of them was when a pair came up together, including really close to Hafsulan. In total we saw 15 grey seals. On the far side of Videy we got lucky with the humpback whales too! There were 2 of them. One was much more active and was feeding lots. The other was resting, logging a lot at the surface. We got a great look at both individuals before heading back to enjoy our Christmases!
