CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 9:OO

Report from Eldey: We were promised rough seas and that is what we got. The sky was grey and overcast and the wind was screaming adventure at us. So we set sails towards the southern part of the bay in hopes for some cetaceans. After some time the oceans movement got to some of our passengers and we got to see some green faces but never the less we bravely faced the cold Icelandic wind. We searched and we looked and hoped that some whitecaps might be whales but unfortunately the animals were not in a whale watching mood today and stayed hidden. At the end of the tour complimentary tickets were issued to our brave and adventurous passengers.
