Tour at 13:00

Not the best of tours today with regards to both the weather and the cetaceans. It was still quite windy, raining and not very good visibility. It took us almost the whole tour to see our first cetaceans. We got word from a friend of ours whom was out in his boat and saw a pod of White-beaked Dolphins which were about 5 miles away. It felt like forever to get there but once we got there they were great. Surfacing 10-20 meters from us at one stage. Must have been at least 8 of them maybe more which ended our tour nicely.

 

Tour at 09:00

The weather was quite nice even though it was raining a bit, when we headed out to Faxaflói. It took us a long time to find the whales this morning then suddenly some of our passengers spotted something in the distance and when we got closer we saw it was a big and beautiful group of white-beaked dolphins. They were breaching out of the water again and again for a long time. We spent some time with them and enjoyed them a lot. Very nice tour.
