Tour at 13:00
Report from Hafsúla: Today we went out from Grindavík, a small town on the south coast of Reykjanes peninsula. We sailed north passed Eldey which is the largest northern gannet colony in Iceland and one of the biggest in the world. We saw a lot of the big and graceful gannets on the tour along with many other bird species. We never went so far from land so we were always able to enjoy the beautiful landscape of Reykjanes. Our journey ended in Sandgerði which is another small fishing town a bit further north than Grindavík. Unfortunately we were not able to find any signs of cetaceans on the tour so we offered our passengers complimentary tickets so they can have a second chance with us to find these amazing animals.
