Tour at 13:00

Cancelled to do strong wind out in Faxaflói bay.

 

Tour at 09:00

The autumn is obviously here since the weather was full in this morning, windy and rainy, but it didn't stop us and our passengers from going out this time and we headed out ready for some adventure and action, luckily with the wind blowing from behind so it was not to bad on our way out. When we got out to Faxaflói bay, we first spotted several pods of Harbour Porpoises. A Minke Whale then surfaced very close to us, it surface three times ony 10 meters away from us before it disappeared. We then kept on searching, there were lots of Gannets in this area, feeding, but sea conditions were very rough which mate the search a lot more challenging. Eventually we found another Minke Whale and close by we followed a pod of White-beaked Dolphins for a while. After a very successful and refreshing tour out in Faxaflói bay we eventually had to start heading back to the harbour.
