The weather was even better during this tour than the one before. We sailed straight to the area where we had the sightings on the tour before but there were not as many birds there and no whales. We then sailed a bit further out and on the way there we spotted some Harbour
We were going to start this tour by stopping by the Puffin colony in Akurey and on the way over there we spotted few Harbour Porpoises, we then went close to Akurey to look at the Puffins, by the Island we also spotted some Eider Ducks and Black-Backed Gulls. We then headed
The weather stayed similar for the afternoon tour. We started the tour by stopping by Akurey, one of two Puffing colonies here close to Reykjavík. We then headed out. While we were searching we spotted a lot of birds again, we spotted the same birds plus a few Shearwaters, t
As we went out again after lunch there was absolutely no wind. Visibility was strange. It was almost impossible to distinguish between the calm mirror like sea and the gray foggy sky. We encountered the first cetaceans, White-beaked dolphins, quite soon. It was a group of 6-

The wind seemed to increase a little bit which made the air temperature a little bit colder. We set sail out into Faxaflói and saw a big blow from a Minke Whale in the distance and as we slowly approached we once again found ourselves surrounded by Minkes. We saw ‘Big Missin
The weather was just like this morning, just gorgeous. It took us a little while to find the whales again but suddenly we saw some splashes which were from a pod of White-beaked Dolphins. We stayed with them for a while as they were breaching, leaping out of the water and sw
Again we left the harbour for a date with the whales. Again we started early in the tour to see many, many Harbour Porpoises, up close and all around. It turned out to be difficult to leave them, every time we wanted to leave, another pod crossed our path. Finally we cut the
