Report from Eldey: We left the harbour in high hopes that the day will continue to be a marvellous one... and it did. Besides 3 harbour porpoises a few of us saw, there was nobody on board that did not see the 8-10 minke whales we had surfacing all around us, at times as close as 20 meters away from the boat. It was a beautiful trip with lots of memorable moments that I'm sure will be imprinted in the memories of our guests for decades to come.

Report from Eldey: Finally we broke the curse that was hovering over the last few days, when sightings were quite seldom. Today we had a tour that, I am pretty sure, surpassed our passengers’ expectations. Shortly after we left the harbour we reached an area with a lot of bird activity indicating abundance of prey. A couple of minutes later we sighted our first minke whale. A waterfall of sightings followed… By the end of the tour we had enjoyed the close presence of around 8 minke whales feeding in our surroundings. To add the cherry on top of the cake, we also saw a big pod of around 10 white-beaked dolphins. Definitely a ride to remember.
