Today we will be operating on our lovely vessel Eldey for our Classic Whale Watching tour. Make sure to dress according to weather, as it is usually colder at sea than on land.

CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 09:00

Report from Eldey: Today, although we had a bit of wind coming from the North, we had a very sunny morning! With the sun on our faces during the whole tour, we sailed out to find our favorite animals, going first to the check the area of Videy and Lundey islands, since we had sightings there recently. However, as we haven't seen anything in this area we went a bit far out to try our luck somewhere else. We had some Northern fulmars following us with the wind, maybe indicating that we were in a productive area. Unfortunately we also couldn't find anything, and as the other boats that were also looking for cetaceans in different areas didn't see anything either, we decided to give out complimentary tickets so the passengers can come in another time and see our Faxaflói stars!
