Tours at 13:00, 14:00, 17:00 and 20:30

Cancelled due to bad weather

 

Tour at 10:00

We sailed straight to the puffin island Akurey to visit the puffins and we saw hundreds of puffins all around the island just beautiful to see. Than we sailed out to Faxaflói bay, we sailed around very large area but no sign of the whales. The wind picked up a lot in the middle of the tour and it started to rain. We had a good help from our passengers when searching for the whales but unfortunately no whales to see. We ended the tour in Hafnarfjörður harbour and gave all our passengers complimentary tickets and we really hope to see them all again on another tour.

 

Tour at 09:00

The wind was picking up when we sailed out this morning. And the luck was not with us this time finding the whales. Even with good help from our passengers we were not able to find the whales. We crossed a very large area searching but no sign of the whales. So we offered all our passengers some complimentary tickets. In the end we visited the puffins at Akurey and spotted hundreds of puffins all around the island. So, lots of puffins but no whales:( 

Birds seen on tour: Gannets, fulmars, puffins, guillemots, manx shearwater and arctic skua
