  • CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

Today's whale watching tour from Reykjavík is ON SCHEDULE! Remember to dress according to weather and feel free to borrow our thermal overalls if needed!

CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 1300

Report from Eldey: We set off this afternoon with the sun creeping through the clouds. It was a crazy weather tour this afternoon. A couple times we had very intense snow storms as well as a bright blue sky. This made for quite the experience. The highlight, however, seeing a humpback whale! This whale was poping up very randomly. We got to see a few amazing fluke dives too which was very cool. We also saw 2 grey seals nearby. With the low sun it made this sighting extra special. During the sighting was when the first snow storm started. But we still carried on having a great time before returning to the harbour.
