Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúla: we sailed out from hafnafjörður today because there we can get better shelter from the strong south western winds and then more comfortable sailing. After around 20 minutes sailing we spotted a harbor porpoise, a small cetacean. These animals can often be very elusive and hard to get a good look at and sadly this was one of those times, we stopped for a short time to try to spot it again but weren’t able to. Unfortunately that was our only sightings of cetaceans on the tour. We offered our passengers complimentary tickets so they can have a second chance to see whales with us.
