Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The weather conditions during this tour were similar to this morning, just the wind picked up during the tour. It took a little while to encounter cetaceans, but after about 1 hour and 15 min we spotted a group of 8-9 white-beake

Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had picked up this afternoon so there was a few splashes coming over the boat so some passengers had a North Atlantic shower but most didn´t mind as they were wearing floatation suits. The scenery was stunning with a freshly

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Just like the morning tour we sailed out from Keflavík to get shelter from the worst swells in the south western winds. All though the conditions had improved a little bit, the swells were still rolling high when we got further out. We s

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: For the same reason than this morning, we departed from Keflavik for the second and last tour of this day. Because we came back from the first tour this tour empty-handed, we were fiercely motivated to spot some whales ! Shortly after le

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: During the tour we had a light rain showering us from start to end. Good thing that our overalls that we offer all passengers kept us dry. Other than rain we had an overcast sky and medium swells. We wanted to head straight out towards t

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: It was getting windier and the swells were higher than on the morning tour. We found  a pod of 3-4 white beaked dolphins early on the tour. They were difficult to follow and spent a long time under water. After we l

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Weather was merciful when we started this tour. There was less wind than the forecast expected, and we were not cold. Even in these optimal conditions and with good visibility, it took us a lot of time before spotting our first pod of

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The afternoon just got better and better, sun was still shining and nice crisp air to fill the lungs. A perfect day to out on the water. The searching took us longer on this tour than in the morning. After about 50 minutes we got radio c

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: This tour started very well as we left the harbour in bright sun and warm temperatures. We could enjoy the weather for a little while before we spotted our first pod of white-beaked dolphins. Between 5 and 8 of those ani

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: It was blustery still in the bay, which increased later on in the tour but this did not deter our adventurous passengers. We saw a pod of 6-9 white-beaked dolphins, which were amazing as they leaped and played under and

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The bay greeted us with the same beautiful weather as this morning. Sunshine and very little wind made it to a pleasure journey out in Faxaflói. The first cetacean of the tour proved to be a single harbour porpoise follo

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: The weather was very much the same this afternoon, blustery but a relatively smooth sailing. We tried a new area than this morning, searched more towards the south. We were successful to spot a pod of white-beaked dolphins

Tour at 13.00

Report from Eldey: The weather could not have been better, the swell calmed down, the clouds cleared and the wildlife was amazing. We saw at least 5 minke whales, two traveling together and one that seemed to be either playing or being ann

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Flat sea and sunshine, was this the last day of summer here in Iceland? Either way we had perfect conditions for a successful whale watching trip. It didn't take long until we found the first minke whale of the tour. It

Tour at 13:00

Report from Eldey: Even though we still got to enjoy the sun shining all over us on this tour, the sea conditions had become a little worse. So we made our bumpy and rocky way in to Faxaflói hoping to still find minke whales around in the same area as this

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: After a rather bumpy tour without cetaceans we were hoping to have more luck on this tour. We were taking a different route sailing to the Northeast close to shore searching for any signs of cetaceans. In the rough conditions with many w
