• 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 wet out in a strong wind from the east. At least it was dry and so we could enjoy the tour covered in our overalls. Just a few minutes outside of the harbor we spotted the blows of 2 humpback whales. Banana and friend were busy feeding and so we got a good look at these great animals. After we spend some time with them we went on a cruise around the islands and found 2 harbor seals. one of then curiously checking us out from close to the boat, the other one resting on the rock emerging from the falling tides. Before we returned to the harbor we had another good look at the two humpbacks.
