Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: We sailed out in the cold but beautiful weather this afternoon. There was so much birdlife in the bay today, in many places we saw diving Northern Gannets, Kittiwakes and other gulls feeding in the surface. We did not have to search for long before we saw our first Minke Whale. This was a big one, came few times up close to the boat so we all got a good look at it. But after that we lost sight of the animal so we headed on to search the area better. We saw so many blows and few times the back of a Minke shining in the sun but it was only in the very end that we finally got to see the animal close enough to get a good look. But after seeing that second Minke on this tour we were happy to head back and watch the beautiful view on our way.
