We really hoped to find the humpback from the morning again and sailed all the way full of excitement. And than the captain finally saw its blow through the bincoulars far in the distance. It was the same humpbck whale from the morning. It was still there, something you neve
We decided to try our luck again but we seareched this time far far out in the Faxaflói bay, an area where we usually never go. The tour was about six hours but it was it worth!!! We found several minke whales and a humpback whale. Actually the passengers could smell a minke

The wind went down, the temperature increased and we decided to ehad to Keflavik to have a look out there, too. We had too wait a bit before spotting soemthing but then we had a fantastic sighting of a Humpback whale, which we spotted already a few weeks ago. We think it might

The wind went down a bit and it got much warmer, too. Birds were still many out at sea, feeding mainly. But whales were still not around.

Report from Hafsúlan: The weather was still really good in the afternoon, although the wind had picked up a little (tiny) bit. We sailed out on Faxaflói bay and spotted a minke pretty soon. It wasn't very cooperative, so we headed further out... and that certainly paid off!

It got quiet out there in Faxaflói bay. Suddenly there was not as much life as in the morning. The whales were taking a siesta :-) and we had to spend some time searching for them. At the end of the tour though we had spotted three minke whales and one dolphin.
