Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: it was windy and cold on the bay today but the at least it wasn’t raining and the waves were not that big. We had been sailing for about 50 minutes until we spotted two white-beaked dolphins. One of them seamed much smaller and might have been a younger than the other one. We enjoyed these curious animals a lot, they swam all around us often going under the boat! The smaller one jumped few times up in the air so we could see the whole body of these beautiful animals, gray bodies with white beak and stripes along their bodies. After some time we noticed two other dolphins little further away, they seemed both bigger but luckily for us they were also curious and kept swimming around the boat.
