• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

Report from Eldey: We went out with quite strong winds and rain, but ok sea conditions. It didn't take us that long before we saw a harbor seal. It was watching us as we sailed past it. Just a few minutes after we saw a humpback whale. It was Banana. A very well known individual, that has been here for a few months now. We watched it surfacing a lot of times, showing us it's beautiful fluke as well. After a while we decided to leave it and see if we could find something else in the bay. As we sailed along, we saw another harbor seal, after quiet a sail we couldn't find anything else, so we turned around and found 2 more seals along the way. Banana was nowhere to be seen, so we headed back to the harbor, as all of a sudden we spotted it a little further away. So we went there to have a nice goodbye-encounter with Banana. :)
