Today we will be operating on our lovely vessel Eldey for the 13:00 Classic Whale Watching tours. Make sure to dress appropriately for the tours as it is always colder on sea than on land.

COVID-19: Keep in mind that passengers and crew are asked to ensure their own hygiene and safety at all times. Washing hands thoroughly with soap and using a hand sanitiser is advised.  

CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

Report from Eldey and Elding: Today we set sail with gorgeous mountains as our back drop. Close to the harbour we had little swell and wind, but further out there was a different story. We decided to stay close to land and try to find the humpback whale that has been so close. We saw 5 harbour porpoises and a harbour seal as well but no larger cetaceans. We headed further out into the bay just to make sure that we did not miss anything. The other whale watching boats also had no luck and in the end we handed out complimentary tickets. These last two years and gives everyone the chance and enough time to come back and try again for free.
