Report from Hafsúlan: We were so excited to go out on the first midnight tour of the season. We decided to head straight out to search for the whales and stop by at Akurey on the way back home. We searched in a very large area and after a long time we saw a blow from a minke
Report from Hafsúlan: disheartened by the lack of sightings on the 1300 tour, we bordered for the 1700 tour and decided to try our luck in a different area. Instead of sailing towards Snæfellsnes Peninsula, we decided to head west, alongside Sudurnes Peninsula and towards Gar
The wind had picked up a little bit this afternoon but we were very excited to go out after a great succes with previous tours. We headed very far out and once we were in that area where they were seeing the humpback whale we saw a big blow. We saw the blo
Report from Hafsúlan: After a rather dull start we spotted two subsequent blows in the beautiful evening light. After a while of waiting the minke whale finally showed us its shiny back and dorsal fin. It didn't surface again so we moved on. After turning the boat around in d
Report from Hafsúlan: It was a beautiful evening light tonight but the tour started off very slowly with a couple of Minkes on the way offshore but very elusive ones that were only seen once or twice and not showing up again. It wasn´t until much later in the tour that we got
Report from Hafsúlan: The last tour of the day was not that productive than the two others we did before. The weather was still great just the wind picked up a little bit and the surface of the ocean was not that calm anymore. We were sailing very far out and searching for a
Report from Hafsúlan: This tour we decided to head straight out into Faxaflói Bay and stop at the Puffin colony on our way back to Reykjavík. The weather was still great even the wind picked up a little bit but it was not that cold than in the morning. Once we were in the bay
Report from Hafsúlan: When we left the harbor we already knew from our sister vessel Elding that we should start our search close to land. So we did not head far out and stopped already in the area around Grótta to start the searching. Just when we wanted to go further out in
Report from Hafsúlan: This was an incredible tour. Not so many Minke Whales but the rain stayed off us and we found a Minke Whale practically in the harbour. It was so close to land, just milling around and enjoying the scenery no doubt. We stayed a little while with this
Report from Elding: The skies started to dim as the sun lowered in the sky and clouds were rolling in. No rain though which is always apprieciated. We headed east this time as we were sure the orca were long gone in the rough seas to the west not sheltered by land. We searche
Report from Elding: As the wind was increasing in Faxaflói Bay and the sea conditions got worse during the afternoon we decided to move one of our vessels to Sandgerði a harbor on the other side of the Reykjanes peninsular. There we got a shelter from land and we hoped to hav
Report from Hafsúlan: Once more we headed into Faxaflói Bay. The sun was still shining, just the wind picked up a bit, and so the sea wasn't that calm than in the morning. We stopped at Akurey again on our way out to have a look at the Puffins. There was not that many than in
After a very successful day our last tour was a little bit difficult. At the beginning of our tour we saw a group of harbour porpoises. It was very nice since they were close to the boat and all passengers could see them very good. We continued our tour and also found a minke
Report from Hafsulan: At the beginning of our evening tour it was not clear at all that this will be a very special tour, even the highlight tour of today. We went again to the area were we spotted the minke whales this morning. It took a while until we spotted some harbour p
Report from Elding II: The weather was still just perfect for a whale watching tour. After stopping at Akurey the puffin Island we decided to go very far out as we heard from fishing vessels that there were whales in that area. After about 20 minutes sailing we heard
Report from Elding: While all our passengers are important to us, it was a particular delight to welcome onboard a couple from the USA who had been Puffin watching earlier today and a lady from the UK who was on her fourth whale-watching tour with us just on this holiday! Ret
Report from Hafsúlan: Faxaflói Bay looked so beautiful as we sailed out that we wished that we had our 20.30 whale-watching tour (what we call the 'Romantic Whale Watching) already but that will only happen in mid-June. Even so, there was a lot of romance onboard, for what co
Report from Hafsúlan: It took us a while to spot the first Minke Whale, it didn't surface very often and in between long deep dives. But we could have a quick look at it 2-3 times. Then we decided to try our chance in another area and after a little while we saw quite a big
(Report from Hafsulan) On this tour we tried to find the Humpback whale again, but as nature is very unpredictable it changes very fast and we didn't find it. We did however find one of our favourite Minke Whales called Donut that we have seen many times, every year since 20
(Report from Hafsúlan) The weather was still perfect with the added bonus of the beautiful evening light. We went straightout on this tour and found some Harbour Porpoises about 30-40 minutes into the tour which were entertaining the passengers as they surfaced meters fro
