Tour at 09:00
The sea conditions in the harbour were mirror calm but the sea conditions out in Faxaflói, WOW!! Very windy making the tour a bit like a roll coaster. Fun for some not so fun for others. The sun was on full strength and the visibility was beautiful. Amazing light to photograph. We sailed out for about 30 minutes and slowed down in the main whale watching area. Our first cetacean were White-beaked Dolphins which surfaced just 10-20 meters from our boat. 3 were surfing in the swell side by side which was really cool but they left as quickly as they appeared. Then it was a Minke Whale. We saw the blow twice and then we saw it 10 meters from our boat, you could see its white belly just under the waters surface as it was playing in the swells. The birds were great to watch too as they soared over the rough ocean. Great morning but a bit too windy for the next 13:00 tour.
