Status Tour at 9 am: RUNNING
We are sailing out from the Old Harbour in Reykjavik today. We are expecting some rain today and some wind so there will be movement on the boat out on Faxabay. But if you are sensitive to motion sickness we offer preventative tablets in the ticket office, free of charge! On board there are heated indoor areas but we also have overalls to keep you warm out on deck.
Tour at 09:00
Report from Eldey: We left the old harbour in Reykavik today at 0900 and the fog was all around. The swell was rough on the way out and as we headed in a wide circle in Faxafloi and saw several types of sea birds and a few glimpses of harbour porpoises. As we returned it started to snow harder which gave it a winter atmosphere and many people were glad to see land and stretch their sea legs. At the end of the tour we offered complementary tickets as only a few glimpses of cetaceans were seen today.
