Tour at 13:00 Report from Hafsúlan. Today, we sailed from Reykjavík. It was pretty windy and the ocean was a little rough. We spotted some white-beaked dolphins but they went for a deep dive pretty quickly. We headed in to the Hvalfjörð and ran into another pod of around 5-10 white-beaked dolphins. They were moving rather quickly and surfing the waves. They came very close to us and it was wonderful to watch them in spite of the wind.

Birds seen on todays tour included: Fulmars, kittiwake, Glaucous Gulls, Razorbills, Eider ducks and cormorants.
