Tour at 13:00 Report from Hafsúlan: Today we went out from tha harbour in Hafnafjörður because the sea conditions in Reykjavik waren't so good, but from Hafnarfjörður it was really good apart from a little wind ! After a short sailing we saw a pod of White-beaked Dolphins jumping around and hunting, and then another pod came so it must have been around 7-10 individuals. They were great, came really close to the boat and swam just below the surface so we got a really good look at them, we sailed around the area searching for other whales while the dolphins amused us. The weather was much better than we expected, it didn't rain like the weather forcast had predicted and the waves weren't so bad. So in the end it was a great tour !

Birds seen on today's tour include : Fulmars, Kittiwakes, Glaucos Gulls, Cormorants, Razorbills, Shags, Eider Ducks and Gannets
