Tour 17:00

We had some excellent weather this afternoon, nice calm sea and a little bit of sunshine. We didn't find it hard to find the Minke whales again, and we followed about 5 Minke whales quite closely. We spotted a small group of Harbour Porpoises just a couple of times but I'm not sure if all the passengers could see them. There were always plenty of whales that we could see in the distance throughout the trip, and we even thought we may have spotted the blow of a Humpback whale, but as we came closer I think we lost it in the glare of the sun. We ended the trip at Akurey, puffin island :)

 

Tour 13.00

Another excellent our with still a beautiful sunny day. We went out and the whaes were still numerous out in Faxafloi bay. We had at least 5 sightings of Minke whales. Actively feeding Minke whales in the majority of times. Mainly were Puffins, Gulls and a few artic terns, too were aournd the feeding whales.

 

Tour 9:00

A very nice weather today; sunny and almost no wind. We salied out to Faxafloi bay and we had a very amazing tour. We had in fact at least 9 Minke whales which have been spotted feedig in presece of large flocks of birds. We spotted also some of them lunge feeding, jumping out of the water very fast mouth open and it was very spectacular.
