Today we will be operating on our lovely vessel Eldey for the 13:00 Classic Whale Watching tour. Make sure to dress appropriately for the tours as it is always colder on sea than on land.

• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

COVID-19: Keep in mind that passengers and crew are asked to ensure their own hygiene and safety at all times. Washing hands thoroughly with soap and using a hand sanitiser is advised. Masks are mandatory in areas where keeping 1 meter distance from others is not possible. 

Report from Eldey: Today's conditions were exceptional for the end of December. The sea was incredibly calm and the sunlight was beautifully orange and pink. There were many large flocks of seabirds: great cormorants, herring gulls, arctic gulls, and common guillemots were flying everywhere in the bay. We were hopeful to see cetaceans swimming among the fish on which the birds were feeding. However, we unfortunately didn't see any whales or dolphins today.  We therefore gave our passengers complimentary tickets so that they can come on another tour with us where we will hopefully have more luck with the sightings.
