CLASSIC WHALE WATCHING | 11:00
Report from Hafsulan: Some northwesterly swell made for a fun ride into Faxaflói this morning, but the wind remained low so we had great visibility. Our first encounter was with a very calm humpback whale. This individual surfaced once, then stayed under for a couple of minutes, and then came back up close to where he went down. We didn´t want to disturb his morning slumber, so we continued towards some splashes created by a pod of 8 white-beaked dolphins. The dolphins were making small circles as they were probably having their breakfast, and we enjoyed some close up views of the active pod. Then we spotted a blow - another humpback whale! This individual was also feeding, and we could track it as it was underwater because it kept creating bubblenets! It led us to two other individuals, and they eventually all joined together. When we were about to leave, one of the individuals came up a couple of meters from our starboard - wow! After this very close encounter we made our way back to Reykjavík.
