Status: RUNNING

We are sailing out from Reykjavik Harbour today.The forecast predicts wind from the east and we could experience some swells.

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Just like the last days, the sea conditions and the weather were extremely nice today considering the time of year. On the way back we got the cold winds in our faces but the sailing was smooth and relaxing. We found many flocks of different bird species resting on the water surface as we were looking out for whales and dolphins. The visibility was great today and it would have been easy to notice signs of cetaceans but we didn't see any of these animals on our tour today. I hope that our passengers still enjoyed the sailing with us on this beautiful winter day, and we offered all of them complimentary tickets. With these they have the chance to come on another whale watching tour with us for free within the next two years.
