Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: The sailing today was very pleasant, the sea was almost glassy still and there wasn´t much movement in the waves. For most of the tour there wasn´t even any wind, it made for a very relaxing tour. We sailed from Reykjavík and headed along the Reykanes peninsula, we sailed right to the edge of the peninsula before the waves started increasing and we headed back to port in Keflavík. During the trip there were quite a few Northern Gannets and Northern Fulmars to be seen flying around the boat and we spotted a number of Guillemots sitting on the water before the dived away. Unfortunately we didn´t see any marine life so at the end of the tour we handed out complimentary tickets.
