Tour at 17:00: Our tour at 17:00 was cancelled due to increasingly bad weather.
Tour at 13:00: Report from Hafsúlan. We headed out from Reykjavík. The wind had picked up and it was cloudy but not raining. We went back to Lundey to look at all the beautiful birds and then headed further out in the bay. After searching for some time we saw a pod of 6-8 Harbour Porpoises. We stayed in the same place for quite some time and saw probably between 20-25 Harbour Porpoises. They were travelling fast and surfaced very close to the boat. Because we only saw the Porpoises we decided to give our passengers a complimentary ticket so they can come back with us and hopefully se something more.
Tour at 9:00: Report from Hafsúlan. We went out from Reykjavík. We began our tour by heading out to Lundey (Puffin Island). There we saw a lot of puffins and other birds. Just as we were sailing away from the Island we caught a glimpse of some Harbour Porpoises but they were rather elusive and we continued out. After about one and a half hour of sailing we saw a pod of 4-5 White-beaked Dolphins. We only saw them surface a few times. Because of the poor sightings all our passengers got a complimentary ticket, which is valid for 2 years, so they can come back on tour with us.
Birds seen on todays tours include: Kittiwakes, Black-backed gulls, Cormorants, Eider Ducks, Arctic Terns, Northern Gannets and Black guillemot.
