Sunday, 4 November 2018 | Elding Adventure at Sea

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The wind picked down a bit for our afternoon tour but it didn't mean that we hadn't had to face fierce north-winds. Nonetheless, the trip was epic with an incredible landscape and breathtaking scenery. It seemed that we were sailing in a big blue dessert until we could find our desire oasis. Out of nowhere and without any warning a pod of 6-8 white-beaked dolphins started to leap and jump in synchrony in the distance. Once we got closer we discovered the reason, they were actively hunting and they had time to come closer to us and check the boat with their usual curiosity. As a plus, hundreds of birds gathered around the dolphins to get some leftover (who says no to a free meal?). The way back was astonishing as the sun was setting creating incredible lights over Reykjavik.

Tour at 9:00

Report from Eldey: After stormy night this morning we had choppy sea. It was not very rough and the most difficult part was to face cold wind. To have some shelter we choose to sail along mountains and we gained a great view over the landscape which was changing with the morning light. Despite this amazing photo opportunities nothing but landscape and some birds was posing for our pictures. For sure next time we will be more successful and our guests were offered with complimentary tickets to return in future.
