Today we will be operating on our lovely vessel Eldey for the 13:00  Classic Whale Watching tours. Make sure to dress appropriately for the tours as it is always colder on sea than on land.

• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

Report from Eldey: We headed out this afternoon with the wind behind us. As we sailed out we could admire all the snow covered mountains surrounding the bay. As we sailed around we saw seabirds including some very cute guillemots and razorbills. A Northern gannet also passed close above our heads at one stage which was nice. We had headed south to see what was in this part of the bay but as we continued to search no cetaceans appeared. Unfortunately, this remained the case as we came back to the harbour so we gave out complimentary tickets so everyone can come back again.
