Status: RUNNING

We are sailing out from the Old Harbour in Reykjavik today. The forecast predicts wind from the south and we could experience some swells

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: we were lucky with weather today, it had been snowing all morning but as soon as we got on the boat it cleared up and we got great visibility over the bay and all the mountains that surround it. The sea conditions were also in our favor, almost no swell except for a long swell from west that rocket our boat. our only sign of cetaceans was when our captain spotted dolphins in front of us, we stopped and searched all around but were sadly never able to find the animals again. Because we didnt get a sighting of whales or dolphins on the tour we offered everyone a complimentary tickets so they could come with us on another tour.
