Report from Eldey: Windy day in Faxafloi tonight. We headed south in order to find some of the cetaceans which were seen previous days in a very productive area. We sailed and searched thoughtfully but we couldn't find any signs. In the middle of our trip we could see 2 harbour porpoises coming really close to the boat but unfortunately we considered that it wasn't enough for our passengers so we offered complimentary tickets. Hopefully next time it's gonna be better.

Tour at 9:00

Report from Eldey: We begun new week by sailing first along coast to watch sun rising behind Reykjavik. When we reached Faxafloi we were welcomed by strong cold wind, I wish to be as happy about this breeze as fulmars - plenty of those birds were gliding above water like kites. Good that we serve hot chocolate to keep us going despite weather. Our captain was trying to have wind in our back when we were exploring bay. After almost two hours we got a call from another boat that they saw something, unfortunately when we arrived there they already were on their way back as no animal was seen. Hopefully whales just don't like Monday mornings and later they will be more active, our guest were offered with complimentary tickets so they can came again for free and give whales a chance.
