Tour at 13:00
Report from Eldey: The afternoon tour looked promising as the sky cleared up and we could have nice views from the entire harbour, with the imposing volcano of Snaefellsjokull in the background. We sailed defying fierce north winds, which made us feel very cold but at the same time we could feel what vikings felt when the came here more than 1,000 yours ago. After a long search, we couldn't spot anything so we decided to offer complimentary tickes to our passengers. Nonetheless, the way back was sunny, smooth and very enjoyable.

Report from Eldey: It was nice but very cold morning. Wind was blowing from the North and we not only felt freezinng blasts but we also had small snow storm. It was mine first snow this year! We took northern path using protection from Snaefellsnes peninsula. Sea was full of fish and sea birds. We had great hopes and thanks to cooperation with other whale watching we found two species of cetaceans. First we were trying to spot a minke whale but animals was elusive and the only what we saw it was a blow. Later on we found pod of 6-8 white-beaked dolphins. They were in rush somewhere and after very short time together we let them go their way. Even if we had some sightings this morning we werent happy wth quality of them that's why we offered complimentary tickets at the end of the tour.
