Tour at 17:00

Report from Edley: As the previous two tours, we had very calm sea conditions which made it pretty easy to locate 4-5 harbour porpoises after about 1 hour of sailing. Unusally, we even slowed down to have a better look at t

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: I would be lying if I said this tour was anything but spectacular! We started out with the sun shining in our faces and encountered 2 harbour porpoises just outside of the harbour. Although it stayed quiet for almost ano

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: A light rain and a little bit of wind were our welcoming for our last tour of the day. Nonetheless, as soon as we left the harbour the weather improved and we could enjoyed the views from the whole bay of Faxa. Soon, we found a small pod

Tour at 17:00

Report from Elding: Sea conditions were a little bit calmer and greater than the previous tour, but during almost all the tour we had to face an annoying light rain. We went straight away to the area in which we last saw t hat breaching humpback, but soon

Tour at 17:00

Report from Elding: Sea conditions were quite nice going out with East wind in our back and a little overcast. While conditions were quite good and we spotted many sea birds, it took about an hour and a half for us to spot the first cetacean. After noticin

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: Clouds were clearing up again and we just had some mist on the water surface. Once getting further out into Faxafloi, we first saw a group of 6-8 harbour porpoises come up really close to the boat and surfacing numerour

Tour at 17:00 Report from Hafsulan: Really nice conditions throughout the tour with a clear and sunny sky from beginning to the end. It took a little time before we spotted the first cetaceans. After about an hour we spotted around 5 or 6 harbour porpoises m

Tour at 09:00

Report from Eldey: What an adventure! We didn't expect the sea conditions to be that rough, bout on our morning tour a tricky mix of wind waves and tidal waves made sure to keep us shaking in every directions! This sensational ride was perfect for adrenali

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: The sea had calmed a lot since the morning, and it was really clear. The first sighting of the tour was a pod of white-beaked dolphins that seemd to be feeding under a flock of birds, while following this pod we spotted

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: While we thought the wind picked up, it actually ended up being very nice out on the water. The clouds made the ocean that good coulour for spotting the darker coloured whales and dolphins. Once we had gotten a good distance away from th

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: Starting conditions were good with some sun. No sightings of cetaceans for the first hour and a half. Suddenly, we spotted a pod of around 3 White-beaked-dolphins breaching from around 1km away. They were jumpi

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: The tour started with a little bit (quite a bit, actually!) of swell, as a shy example of the strong gale that will be beating us during all day tomorrow. We went really far away in this tour, just trying to spot the minkes and white bea

Tour at 17:00

Report from Elding: Wind picked up a bit more for our tour, and with this came slight choppiness but overall our spotting conditions remained untouched, with still good visibility and slow waves. Yet it took us time before spotting cetaceans, it was only i

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: It was a lovely afternoon as we sailed out into the bay, with flat seas and a warm wind. It didn´t take us long at all to spot the cetaceans today, we were barely 25 minutes out of harbour when we spotted large splashes in the distance.
