Tour at 13:00 Report from Hafsúlan and Elding. Once again we took out two boats to make our passengers more comfortable. We sailed out with the swell at the beginning of the tour but it got rougher further out. We found one pod of White-beaked Dolphins (10-12 individuals) that were great. Surfacing close and far, sometimes bow-riding and sometimes surfing the swells. After a while they even started leaping out of the water obviously on the hunt for some fish. The wind picked up more than expected so we started to head home. Once again the wonderful dolphins were the highlight of the tour. Hopefully the whales will be around soon.

Birds seen on today´s tour include; Oystercatchers, Eider Ducks, Shags, Cormorants, Fulmars, Kittiwakes, Black-backed Gulls and Gloucous Gulls.
