Report from Hafsúlan: The weather was stunning on the way out into the bay, It really could not be better with a flat calm sea, only the ripples from the seabirds diving disturbed it. It was incredible to watch the puffins swimming just beneath the sea surface, a very rare t
Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had picked up once more on this evening tour and there was a couple of pale faces but it was nice to be out on the water with the warm sun behind us and the warm evening light was beautiful. We only got to see glimpses of Harbour Porpoises and
Later in the day, we sailed out for a 5 pm tour for the first time in this year. The wind had strengthened and when we were leaving the harbour, we were facing the North Atlantic Ocean. However, everyone seemed to enjoy the little rollercoster ride in Faxa Bay. We ried re
In the afternoon, the weather had become better, so we decided to start sailing from Reykjavik's harbour. We went straight to the island Lundey, where we thoroughly enjoyed watching Atlantic Puffins swimming around and sitting on the island. The area around Lundey was shelte
Report from Hafsúlan: We sailed out this afternoon with a warm sun, which we definitely needed as the wind had picked up making the tour funnier with a bit of a roller coaster ride. We went to the same area where we left the Minke Whales on the last tour, we saw a blow and w

Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had picked up a little bit but is was still very nice to be out on the water. This time we tried our luck at Akurey (puffin colonie of about 19,000 breeding pairs). It looked to be bare of puffins but many other birds were present. We headed of
