Today we will be operating on our lovely vessel Eldey for the 13:00 Classic Whale Watching tour. Make sure to dress appropriately for the tours as it is always colder on sea than on land.

• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

Report from Eldey: After a few cancelled days the ocean seemed to calm down enough to go out! We were quite excited to sail out and see what nature had on offer for us. We checked Videyjarflak first and then later went further into the bay. We had beautiful snowy mountains all around us, and a bit of long swell was moving the boat slightly. These winter trips can be quite magical as we are out in the few sunny hours of the day, meaning there is always a bit of golden hour. We sadly didn't get to see any cetaceans but had a beautiful shot of the moon rising above Esja. So we decided to give out complimentary tickets so the passengers have another chance of seeing the whales and dolphins again.
