• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

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

Report from Eldey and Hafsulan: Again, we set off on a very cold day with the sun shining. It was a great afternoon for whales as we have become used to recently. In total there were 5 humpback whales surrounding the islands close to Reykjavík. The best of these was a pair that came up very regularly and showed us their beautiful flukes too. In the distance we also could see Snaefellsjokull for the first time in a while too. After all the snow last night the mountains looked very beautiful too. After see the humpbacks come up and give us a lovely show, both boats headed back to warm up.
