Although the wind picked up a little bit, observation conditions were still very good. Close to coast we spotted two minke whales and several groups of harbour porpoises. We went to Puffin Island as well and watched the teeming puffin colony...

It had started to rain but the sea still was very calm - this tour staretd also with spotting some Harbour porpoises but they were more in a distance. Two groups of White-beaked Dolphins were spotted a little bit later, one with a calf and rather shy, keeping their distance,

Although the first trip was packed with wildlife we had no luck on this second. Only a few harbour porpoises appeared and disappeared fastly next to our boat. Still we could enjoy the puffin crowd on Puffin Island

The afternoon tour started with encountering the White-beaked Dolphins, that we did't see for quite a while. They were approaching us several times and diving under the boat, great to watch. Harbour porpoises were also spotted during this tour, but not as nicely as during th

Another tour in really nice weather conditions, very sunny and calm sea but again it prooved to be very difficult to find the whales. A blow was spotted by one of our boats but the whale did not show up again.

Still the wind was rough and cold. We searched in Faxafloi for whales and had a short but very close and clear sighting of harbour porpoises. Nice watch! Due to the wind speed we headed back to the Old Harbour soon afterwords.

We went out with two boats on this morning trip. Great sunshine, good visibility, no rain but a strong northeastern wind... . This 12m/s wind speed prevented us from spotting the minke whales and harbour porpoises

Again we had fantastic weather in the afternoon and perfect whale watching conditions. There was no wind and we could easily spot the whales from far away. Like this morning the whales were close to land and after sailing just  a short time  we spotted the first minke whales

The wind was increasing a bit in the afternoon but even so we had good whale watching conditions. There are not many birds around yet but we did see some puffins! Our first sighting on this tour was a group of harbour porpoises which surfaced a lot. Our second sighting was a
