Tour at 13:00

Our luck changed and we had a breaching Minke whale! It jumped twice out of the water and stayed with us for about an hour afterwards. It was splashing about, showed us its fluke and belly. We could see it clearly under the waters surface and were able to observe some great details on the whales body. On the way back from this fantastic encounter, we spotted a group of white-beaked dolphins. This was a fantastic trip! Every trip is very unpredictable :)

Tour at 9:00

Unfortunately we didn't see any whales on this tour. But we did see a lot of puffins at the puffin island, and also something very unusual -- a seal!  There are many of them around Iceland but not usually close to the harbour.
