Report from Eldey: We sailed this morning lucky with beautiful sunrise and quite clear sky with beautiful landscape. Once we sailed for around 20 minutes we spotted a Mink Whale, which most of the crowd was able to see but this Minke was quite fast so it went away from us quite fast, we believe it might have been trying to catch something, so after 15 minutes of sailing we where able to spot a beautiful Humpback whale doing a blow in the distance and later play a little hide and seek showing in front of us and at the back of the boat, this made it special for our guest to meet and know more of this amazing creatures, so after spending sometime with this humpback we had to start to sail back to Reykjavk, indeed we where back satisfied from our marine adventure.

Report from Eldey: This sunny afternoon couldn’t have been more perfect for a day at sea! After setting sail, it took just about 45 minutes before we spotted the first blow of a humpback whale! We excitedly stayed with it, watching as it fluked! The scene was absolutely breathtaking. But as more boats started to arrive, we decided to keep exploring.Just moments later, we spotted another blow! We were waiting for it to return to the surface and suddenly, the whale breached right out of the water! what an incredible moment! Then the whale followed by some playful tail slapping and came super close to our boat.  We were enjoying every magical second, until finally, it was time to head home with huge smiles on our faces but we still had time for one last fluke dive before returning to the harbour.

Report from Eldey: We started this tour very excited due to the whale activity we previously experience and we where able to sailed out with calm and nice sun, so after we started our marine adventure and mention the reason of this beautiful bay and the visit of this cetacean's year after year here, we spotted a Minke Whale, however quite fast and after less than a minute it went away it seems like milling and up to something, however we keep sailing really nice close to Akranes, Hvalfjörður area and behind Akurey, sadly we weren't able to spot more beautiful whales but thats how nature is, however we where lucky to enjoy the beautiful sunset perfect for some beautiful Icelandic landscapes shots, time was up and it was about to come back home.
