The weather changed a little bit this tour. We started the trip in Akurey, the Puffin island and then we sailed in to a creamy fog. We only could see 80 m. around the boat. Soon we spotted a small group of Harbour Porpoises, a nice group, surfacing a few times. Then we heade
The weather was even nicer during this tour. We started the tour again by stopping by Akurey the Puffin colony. And then we headed out. During the tour we had so many Harbour Porpoises all over the place really nice. We also had many Minke Whales on this tour most of them w
After sailing for about 30 minutes we first spotted a Pod of Harbour Porpoises and while we were looking at them a Minke Whale came up right next to them. We stayed in the area for a little while and there were at least 2 more Minke Whales there and loads of Harbour Porpoise
The wind looked as though it picked up a little in this tour but some of the passengers seemed to be enjoying the swells and at the end of the tour became professionals at stabling themselves in rough sea and enjoying the ride. Again it took us a little while to spot the wha

We headed straight towards the area where we had the sightings earlier today. Not many birds on the way over there and when we got to the area we sadly didn't find any whales. The sea conditions were pretty much the same and very had to search. Finally we got to an area wher
The swell had gone a lot down since this morning. After sailing for about 40 minutes a crew member spotted a blow from a whale, but it most likely went for a deeper dive since we didn't spot it again. Really close to where the blow was we spotted a flock of feeding birds so
The wind picked up slightly but it was still very sunny. We headed offshore onboard Elding and saw a couple of pods of Harbour Porpoises on our way offshore. It seemed to take ages to find anything except birds in Faxaflói on this tour. But when our hopes were starting to di
The sun definitely came out for the afternoon tour, absolutely gorgeous. Sea was also still flat calm and the visibility was just perfect. We first came across a small pod of Harbour Porpoises but they weren´t very interactive so we left them to it and went on our way. We sa
