  • CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

CLASSIC WHALE WATCHING | 13:00

Report from Eldey: We went out to sea today, in a little rough weather. We had a little swell but lots of wind. Fortunately we hadn't to go that far, before we found a pair of humpback whales. One of them being Banana. A well known individual. It is here for a few months now. They were feeding and playing around. Banana was rolling to the side and showing us a half of it's fluke while doing it. They were also doing nice fluke dives, so we could have a look at the downside of their beautiful flukes. As always, good things must come to an end, so we had to head back to the harbor, looking at the beautiful skyline of Reykjavik.
