Tour at 13.00
Report from Hafsúlan:We sailed out in beautiful weather with sunning scenery, traveled a farse distance, further than we usually go to find the whales, dolphins and porpoises but unfortunately none were to be seen on this tour. They must all be getting ready for the lighting of the Imagine Peace Tower this evening at 8pm. We gave our passengers complimentary tickets in the hope they will have better luck next time.

Report from Hafsúlan: We sailed out into Faxaflói with clouds overhead threatening rain but stayed dry throughout the tour. There was a slight breeze and a bit of a swell. The bay was not as active as the previous days but we did find a pod of White-beaked Dolphins, 3-4 animals that played under and around the boat but mostly looked to be travelling. We also spotted a Minke Whale but it was very unpredictable and you really had to be looking at the right at the right time to spot it. Quiet morning out in the bay. Hope it picks up.
