Report from Hafsúlan: Because we spent most of this tour fairly close to shore there were less waves and it did not take us very long to find the first minke whale. That was how our non-stop sighting period started. For about one and a half hours we were constantly watching

Report from Hafsúlan: We decided to sail in a different direction than we had done in the afternoon tour to escape the strong wind and big waves. We sailed east along side Reykjanes peninsula where we got shelter from the wind. The sea was calm but unfortunately the animal l
Report from Hafsúlan: it was slowly clearing up but still the clouds covered most of the sky this evening. The wind was not as strong like it had been in the afternoon tour and the swells not as high which made the searching for the cetaceans easier. We began by going to the
Report from Hafsúlan: The light rain was coming and going and at the beginning of the tour we were without references of landscape around us but it cleared up more and more, so that Reykjanes appeared in front of us and for one moment we even saw a bit of sky. The wind and s
Reports from Hafsúlan and Elding: For the vast amounts of passengers joining us this morning we took out 2 boats for our scheduled 9am departure. It could not have been better. Sea was calm, wildlife was plentiful and the sun was trying to break through the interesting cloud
Report from Hafsúlan: it was raining a lot in Reykjavík when we headed out this evening but it cleared up when we got further away on the bay. We headed straight to the area where we had seen the minke whales in the afternoon tour. Just right after we slowed down in the area
Report from Hafsúlan: it rained now and then on us this evening while the sun sneaked down between the clouds. It took us longer than one hour to see the first whale of the tour, a minke whale. The whale came up just in front of the boat in about 400 meters distance. It was

Report from Hafsúlan: It had been a great day so far with fantastic weather and we certainly didn´t want it stop this evening. There was still some rain but it was very light and our visibility was still very good across the bay. The day seemed to he getting harder though an
Report from Hafsúlan: Finally the cloud cover broke up more so that we could enjoy the sunshine on us, but also on certain parts of our surroundings like the mountain chain Esja or the capital Reykjavik. We found 2 minke whales which we could not identify, one closer and one
Report from Hafsúlan: The tour started out with almost no wind, moderate amount of sunshine and calm sea - excellent whale watching weather. Initially, we had to search for quite some time before we spotted a blow in the distance. This blow belonged to a minke whale that sur
