Tour at 13:00
Report from Eldey: Forget about the small streak of great weather we had for a few days, this afternoon we are definitely back to normal. Very strong and cold wind made this tour an excellent character builder. We were quite cheerful even though there was little to see on the sea, besides the few harbour porpoises at the beginning of the tour. Starting to go back to the harbour and being close to it, we lost hope of seeing a cetacean. But suddenly we heard of killer whales from the other whale watching boat. 2 or more of them were coming our way, but disappeared shortly after and we didn't see them again. Such frustration - so close, yet so far. Even though quite a few people saw the orcas, we decided to give out complimentary tickets to our guests, since we thought that the tour was not satisfactory this time.

Tour at 9:00
Report from Eldey: Last days spoiled us and it was hard to get back to cold and windy weather. Sea was still calm but small waves made by strong blasts of wind were rocking us a little bit. Our expectations were high as last days there was so much going on! Ready for an action we start searching as soon as we left the harbour and wind was not helping with that. Like always watching sunrise and changing landscape was a good part of this trip but unfortunately we weren´t lucky with whales and dolphins. It was our first unsuccessful trip in a while so hopefully our guests next time will had a whale of a time as we offered them complimentary tickets valid 2 years.
