Tour at 13:00

Report from Elding: Have you heard that Faxafloi is boiling with wildlife? Animals must be getting very excited about  it because we have had an incredible tour this afternoon. Not only the sailing conditions were excellent but visibility was tremendous which helped us to spot few blows in the distance. As we got closer, it appeared to belong to 2 humpbacks whales which were swimming around the same area. They seemed to be very relaxed with our presence as they came v-e-r-y close to us (we felt like they were doing human watching) and if we weren't happy enough with that (which we were according to the amount of smiles seen on board), one of the humpbacks felt extra-playful and decided to breach THREE times! It was incredible moments and we felt blessed to have witnessed such an incredible show from nature. A 10 out of 10 tour!

Tour at 09:00

Report from Elding: We sailed today with our original and primal boat, Elding. This boat was made to rock the seas and that's what we did today. We had enjoyable conditions, just a light breeze was present in the way back but the rest of the tour was delicious. We witnessed the sunrise as well as a full moon with incredible colors in the sky but the best was the wildlife. A distant humpback whale which was difficult to track but gave us good looks at it and a very friendly and playful pod of 4-5 white-beaked dolphins which were swimming with us for a while at the same time they were jumping in synchrony. All of it made a perfect combination to have a great tour.
