Tour at 13:00
Report from Hafsúlan: We were pleasantly surprised by how many lovely passengers joined us on a whale watching excursion today. A boat full of festive folks. During the month of December we offer our passengers a nice warm christmas drink with apple, cinnamon, cloves, orange and honey and homemade cookies that all the Elding crew made together in the end of November. At no extra cost we transported our passengers to Keflavik where the boat was waiting for them and sail them al the way back with the southwesterly winds to Reykjavik looking for wildlife of the way. We saw many species of birds but unfortunately no whales, dolphins or porpoises. Maybe they are having their christmas vacation but we really hope they will be in the bay very soon. Nature is unpredictable but thats why we love it so much. We offered our passengers complimentary tickets, which allows them to come again for free in the next 2 years.
