Tour at 13:00

Well not the best of days cetacean (whales, dolphins or porpoises) wise and even weather wise. We drove our passengers along the coast to Keflavík where we sailed out from. On the drive we experienced a variety of weathers sunny, hailing, snowing and sunny again. When we got out to sea the weather looked nice and it wasn't long before we got to see some White-beaked Dolphins which looked to be resting. After a little while we went looking for larger whales. We did get word from some fishermen of areas were humpbacks were seen and we went to check but unfortunately no luck. The snow came in and stayed with us for the rest of the tour which restricted our vision but once we found land again we went to see the birds on the birds cliffs and it was really nice to see all the cormorants standing in a line on the snow covered rocks. At the end of the tour we had a quick glimpse of a Harbour Porpoises but they were soon gone. A fun day for those throwing snowballs and enjoying the snow and it was really great seeing the dolphins but we are now really missing the larger Humpbacks and Orca. COME BACK :(
