Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: we went out from Reykjavik and found the sea conditions to have gone a bit better from the morning. We looked around until some dorsal fins showed up; this turned out to be 3-4 white-beaked dolphins and to our delight

Today we drove our passengers via coach at no extra cost to the harbour of Keflavík where our boat was waiting to take us and explore the coastline from a different perpective. Keflavik was the only viable place to venture from today due to the storm yeste

Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: out we went from Reykjavik again, for a rather long tour as we fancied looking for the humpback whale that was seen on Saturday and it would be a long sailing. After about an hour's journey we came across a smaller group of wh

Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: having seen four humpback whales in the morning, and with the sea conditions being close to being as good as they could get, it was with great excitement that we left for the afternoon tour and headed straight west. As we came ar

Tour at 09:00

Report from Hafsúlan: we decided to move the boat from Grindavik to Sandgerði for today's tours as the eastern wind would have made it difficult to go out from Grindavik but it would be easier from Sandgerði. Gulli, the captain that moved the boat, told us

Report from Hafsúlan:  We went back out in Grindavík this afternoon. This time we sailed further west than in the morning tour. We had been sailing for at least one hour before we spotted a tall black dorsal fin about 300 meters away. It took us only

Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan and Elding: both boats went out on this, the last day of February, and it is safe to say that the air was filled with excitement after yesterday's outstanding tour. Again the town of departure was Grindavik and Elding sailed out first.
