Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had picked up on this tour to the point that waves were splashing on the side of the boat but those that were wearing the free overalls provided were having a lot of fun with the adventure. We searched and searched and searched on this tour but unfortunately no whale, dolphins or porpoises were to be seen. We gave our passengers complimentary tickets in the hope they join us again with better luck.

Tour at 09:00

Report from Hafsúlan: The wind have picked up over the night and the bay had quite a few white caps. Our passengers made use of our free overalls to stay nice and warm during the tour. We saw splashes and blows in the distance on this tour and headed over towards them. Unfortunately once we got to the area the dolphins belonging to the splashes and minkes belonging to the blows were no where to be seen even though we searched through the area thoroughly. A couple of our passengers did spot a couple of Harbour Porpoises that surfaced in front of our boat but they too vanished as quickily as they showed up.
