Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: the sea conditions were really good today so the sailing was very soft and it was easy for us to spot animals coming up to the surface from a great distance. We had only been sailing for 40 minutes when we spotted 3 white-beaked dolphins in front of us. We stayed in the area for some time and realized there were other groups of dolphins around us. Some of the dolphins came very close to us and swam all around the boat and often they went under the boat and came up on the other side. We decided to keep on sailing further out to see if we could find more animals. After 20 minutes we spotted ore dolphins a group of 4-5 individuals. We enjoyed these beautiful animals until we had to head back to the harbour.
