• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

Today's whale watching tour from Reykjavík is ON SCHEDULE! Remember to dress according to weather and feel free to borrow our thermal overalls if needed!

Report from Eldey: The sun was out today which was an amazing start to the tour, putting everyone in a great mood. We headed to the same spot as yesterday, close to Lundey. Once again here we found a humpback whale! This was the same individual as yesterday. The one with 2 white dots on the right side of it's dorsal fin. It also behaved very similarly to yesterday. It surfaced so often and would also show us the fluke almost everytime. We were lucky enough to have this individual come really close to our boat a few times too. Along this trip we also saw 3-4 harbour seals which was very exciting. At one stage a seal was close to the humpback and looked as though it was also whale watching!
