Tour at 13:00 Report from Hafsúlan What a day! we sailed out in nice conditions, flat calm seas and cloudy skies. It did rain but only at the end of the tour when sailing back. On the way offshore we got to see two wonderful Minke Whales and once offshore a lovely Humpback Whale which breached (jumped out of the water) many times to show us his/location. As we got closer it stopped breaching and surfaced normally and even brought up its lovely tail a couple of times too. We were wishing that it might breach again, now that we were a little closer and our wishes came true. Just 100-150 meters infront a lovely breach. It was an incredible tour. Great whales, nice day and lots of seabirds.

Seabirds seen on todays tour include; Fulmars, Kittiwakes, Glaucous Gulls, Black-backed Gulls, Eider Ducks and Cormorants.
