CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

Report from Eldey: We sailed out under mostly cloudy skies, a fairly strong northeastern wind and bumpy seas. After sailing out for a bit we suddenly saw our first blow! one blow turned into two, and suddenly into many! Once we got closer we realised we found ourselves in the middle of at least 8 humpback whales! They were feeding all around us, often coming incredibly close to us, up to 3 whales at a time! The waves made this afternoon a bit more challenging but in the end it was more than worth it going out today.
