Tour at 17:00

Another successful trip, we saw a few Minke whales, and had another group of dolphins playing around the boat. At the end of the trip we found a Humpback whale which showed its flukes twice, before we had to leave and go back to the harbour.

 

Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: Again a successful trip, some very playful dolphins and still lots of Minke whales around. We spotted a Humpback whale at the end of the trip, it was tail lobbing and even breached for us, although most of us just saw the big splash. This whale was full of surprises :D.

Report from Elding: On this tour we found many minke whales. We stayed most of the time at one place and let the boat drift with the engine turned off. That made watching the whales particularly nice and we could even hear them breathing. They were very active, feeding very close to the boat, and one was lounge feeding right next to the boat several times. A group of white-beaked dolphins came to visit us for a short time as well.

 

Tour at 9:00 Report from Hafsúlan - Great weather again today. We saw lots of Minke whales and a group of white-beaked dolphins feeding all around us, surfacing very close!
