Tour at 13:00

We could nearly say ,,copy- paste" for this tour from the morning tour, except for two things, a little bit more wind and the Minke whales were in more action. Rolling in the surface, belly up and surface feeding a few times. But every thing else was the same, lots of Harbour porpoises and many Minke whales in the area. Very nice tour;)

 

Tour 09:00

Very nice but cold weather when we headed out to Faxaflói bay this morning. After about 40 minutes of sailing in the sunshine we spotted the first blow and at the same time Harbour porpoises as well. For the next 80 minutes or so, we spotted several Minke Whales. Many of them close to the boat and some closer. All this time Harbour porpoises showed their backs around the boat. Not many birds were feeding with the whales this morning. All together a very successful trip.
