Tour at 13:00:

Report from Hafsúlan: There was some very nice sailing on the boat today, the sea was mostly very calm especially at the end of the tour. We sailed from Reykjavík and headed south towards the Reykjanes peninsula, we then followed the peninsula before turning back and finishing the tour in Hafnafjörður. At the beginning of the tour we were surrounded by Eider ducks and as the tour progressed we also saw a number of Glaucous gulls and Cormorants. Unfortunately there were was no sea life seen on todays tour. As we were not successful on the tour complimentary tickets were given out.
