After sailing only 10 minutes we spotted a small group of Harbour porpoises, and a nice one it was. They surfaced many times very close to our boat. Nice beginning. But we had no luck with the big whales this afternoon.  We searched for a long time, but no Minke whale showed up. We spotted though two groups of White-beaked dolphins. They were a bit shy so it was quite difficult to get close to them. Anyway in the end they came quite close to our boat.

The weather was calm and cloudy when we headed out to Faxaflói bay this morning. It took us a very long time to find the first Minke whale and it only surfaced twice very far away. The second whale did the same thing, surfaced two times before disappearing and so did the third. So the big whales were quite difficult today. We headed further out and there we found a group of White-beaked dolphins. It was a bit difficult to get close to them but then they surfaced a few times only 30-40 meters from out boat. So the passengers could have a good look at them.
