Report from Hafsúlan: When we sailed out this afternoon, the wind had calmed down and clouds with a bit of rain alternated with sunshine so we were able to see several beautiful rainbows. We went out towards where we had seen the dolphins on the last tour, but were happy to

Report from Hafsúlan: In the afternoon, the wind had picked up slightly, but the swell was still low and it was nice to sail out to the sea once more. We went towards where we had seen the dolphins in the morning, but what we found surprised us in a very positive way. There

Report from Hafsúlan: We thought the day could not get any better...we were wrong! It did take us longer on this tour to find the Minke Whales and unfortunately it was only Minke Whales that we saw but they were fantastic. We saw at least 2 minkes and knew of more in the are

Report from Hafsúlan: In the evening, the wind was going a bit down, but we were still facing long waves rolling in from the North Atlantic making this tour exciting for those that enjoyed the roller coaster ride, but surely less enjoyable for those with sensitiveness to sea

We once again sailed out from Hafnafjordur and it was really nice to feel the wind calm down even though the rain seemed to have gotten stronger. This was the best tour of the day as we got to see two Minke Whales, one close up for a long time and another in the distance whi

Report from Hafsúlan: We sailed out of Reykjavik in quite large swells which most passengers enjoyed but one or two ended up with green faces. We searched a very large area and had one sighting of a minke whale in the distance which never showed up again and a few small spla

Report from Hafsúlan: We decided to head in the same direction as this afternoon, hoping we would still encounter the animals from earlier today. Unfortunately the bay seemed rather abandoned and even searching in a large area, for a long time didn't help. It was still a bea
