• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

Today's whale watching tour from Reykjavík is on schedule! Remember to dress according to weather and feel free to borrow our thermal overalls if needed!

Report from Eldey: We went out in what some may describe as as typical Icelandic winter weather. A strong wind from the south-east, heavy clouds and slight rain. But we were all wrapped up in our warm overalls and so we did not mind the fresh air around our noses. Not too far out, we stopped the blows of 2 humpback whales that were traveling into the bay to feed on the abundant herring in the shallow waters around the islands. We were able to spend some time with them before we went on for a bit of a cruise around the islands to see what else we could find. Beside great views of the mountains and the clouds we spotted several sea birds but no more whales. So we passed by the humpbacks on our way back and this time they cot really close to our boat. Mere meters away. Dispite the weather it was a great tour with awesome sightings!
