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
Report from Hafsúlan: This time around, we started the tour from Keflavík. Our passengers were driven from the old harbour in Reykjavík to Keflavík harbour and we headed out on the bay, aiming to end the tour in Reykjavík. The sailing was pleasant as we were sailing downwind

Report from Hafsúlan: As the sun was setting the wind was getting stronger, but it was still pleasant to sail and watch for whales. Due to the great visibility we were also able to see Snæfellsjökull in the distance over-towering the bay of Faxafloí. We were searching alread
Report from Hafsúlan: Yet again, the wind had picked a notch on this tour but the skies were still clear, the sun was shining bright and the Snæfellsjökull glacier greeted us from across the bay as we sailed out of the harbour. This time around, it did take us quite a while
Report from Hafsúlan: It was still quite windy this afternoon as we headed out. We had to sail for a while until we finally found some diving northern gannets. They were apparently feeding and seemed to be plummiting from the skies! Awesome! We did find some two or three min
Report from Hafsúlan: The weather was interchangeable throughout the tour: light wind, soft rain, sun shine in between, fog and rainbows - typical icelandic weather. After only 20 minutes we spotted a minke whale in the bay of Faxafloí. Our researcher identified the individu
Report from Hafsúlan: The wind was picking up more and there was still swell but most people enjoyed the blue sky and the sunshine. In the haze at the horizon Snæfellsnes and Reykjanes were to be seen and all the other mountains around. In this nice scenery we were strugglin
Report from Hafsúlan: We sailed onto a sunlit Faxaflói bay this afternoon and were greeted by a feeding minke whale quite early on in the tour. It was changing its speed and direction a lot and unfortunately, it did not really come up that frequently, so we decided to leave
Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had picked up steadily this evening as we sailed along Faxa Bay's southern coast. We began our search by Kjalarnes and continued past Hvalfjörður and up to Akranes. On our way we saw quite a few northern Gannets and even a lone harbour porpoise
Report from Hafsúlan: The sea conditions got rougher during the day as the swell increased and the wind got stronger too. So we had a roller coaster ride out into the long swell, wave up and down. Then it also started drizzling and later on we sailed under dark clouds of lig
Report from Hafsúlan: The sea calmed down even more and also the wind was less strong. There were some light clouds coming up and covering the sun but it was still bright. We stopped first by some diving gannets not far from land but no cetaceans where to be found around the
Report from Hafsúlan: It was really windy when we headed out and it got even windier as we went further. We sailed south along the Reykjanes peninsula with the wind from behind and managed to find a minke whale quite early. It surfaced 4 to 5 times before it disappeared but
Report from Hafsúlan: It was a beautiful sunny summer afternoon today. We sailed through lots of areas looking for some marine wildlife but did not get as much sightings as we had hoped for. After almost an hour and a half, we finally saw white-beaked dolphins. There were ar
