Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan and Elding: It was cold but sunny as we started the tour. Only ten minutes from the harbor we encountered the first whales. It was a nice group of Harbour Porpoises. We got a good look at them before heading further out.  We went quite far before we found more whales, but when we did, there were at least 4 or 5 Minkes and towards the end of the tour White-beaked dolphins also crossed our path. At one point we had to choose between looking to the right at a Minke whale or to the left, at Dolphins. Both very close to the boat. With snow-covered mountains all around and not a cloud in the sky we sailed the long way back.  A cold but very successful tour :-)
