Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: Also our last tour today departed from Reykjavik. The sea was still very calm and we had a great view. The wind picked up compared to the other two tours of the day. Thus, we also got to enjoy a fresh breeze. We headed out to the area where we saw the do

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: WHAT a tour!! Words cannot express how awesome this tour was! On heading out the sea was lovely and flat but there was a very thick fog, Which made seeing far in the distance very difficult. Although, we couldn't´t see far into the dista

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: The weather kept improving and improving! Definitely the sea is going to look like a mirror in the next few days, we can't wait to enjoy it! This tour was, without any doubts, a dolphin tour. Almost right from the beginning we spotted th

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: On the very first 17.00 tour of this summer, we headed straight back to the area where we had seen the humpback whale on the previous tour. It took about 50 min to get, and when we approached the area, we slowed down to check it carefull

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Challenging would be a fit word to describe our today's only tour ! Seeing an improvement in the weather, we decided to try our luck out and we were pleasantly surprised by the sea state. It was quite calm, and the wind was also weak at

Tour at 13:00 

Report from Eldey: And we thought that the morning tour was hard to match... How wrong and naive we were! Well, it was clear that destiny was preparing us an outstanding experience. It all started with a breathtaking sea, calm as never, giving us the

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: After very rough sea and strong winds in the morning we had much better conditions. The sea calmed down and also the wind was not as strong anymore. So we had a nice ride to our main sighting area, enjoying the sun and the fresh

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: We sailed out, fearing that the condition would be rather choppy since we canceled the morning tour. However, it was actually quite a smooth and quiet sailing, with almost no wind or swell acting against us. The weather was, though, our

Tour at 13:00

Report from Elding: Snow gave us a good welcoming before we departure in our pursuit this afternoon. Our brave passengers stayed in the front line of battle while the weather gave us a harsh time. Nonetheless, the time came past and a more clear and nice w

Tour at 13:00

Report from Elding: This afternoon proved more exciting than our previous tour, with a fairly similar weather, but more wildlife. Quickly we saw in the distance flocks of hundreds of birds, giving us the signal that there was food in the area. We found our

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: When we left the harbour this afternoon, we were greeted by light rain and some wind from the west. As on the morning tour, the swell became stronger after leaving the shelter of the land. Thus, some people decided to stay in the

Tour at 13.00

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The weather remained spectacularly sunny this afternoon, although with a slight increase of the wind. We could not escape the cold either on this tour, but a blue atmosphere and calm waters made for a serene landscape. In such a backgrou

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The weather had improved slightly this afternoon so we were enjoying even a bit of sun here and there, but movement could still be felt on the boat. After a bit more than an hour of sailing we encountered our first cetaceans of this day,

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: A warm, overcast afternoon with the sun rays fighting their way through the clouds and over the bay. Sea was calming down quickly after the stormy weather and there was a lot less swell after the mornings tour. We headed out and saw a ni

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Due to the wind and sea conditions our afternoon tour also started from Keflavik. But with the wind in our back on this tour we made our way back to our home harbour Reykjavik, a great trip we do not undertake every day. The weather toda

Tour at 13.00:

Report from Eldey: Quite a frustrating experience this afternoon! We knew the humpbacks where in the area, but they were nowhere to be seen during this tour!  We sailed to the front of Gardur's harbour, the place in which we saw the animals before, b

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: As we were late back at the harbour, we had to clean the boat quickily and boarded for the 1pm tour. We didn't have to go far to find the humpback whale again, just 20 minutes outside the harbour wall. It was moving slow
