Tour at 13:00

Report from hafsúlan: the bay was beautiful this day, it had snowed in the night so the mountains around us were white and the sun gave the clouds orange and red colors. We had only sailed for 30 minutes when a passenger spotted a dolphin on one side of the boat.  We stopped to have a look at this animal and realized it was a white-beaked dolphin. At first we could only see two but after some time we saw at least 4 individuals. The dolphins were most likely feeding, they kept changing directions but were more or less always in the same area. We sailed further out on the bay to check if we could find something else but we couldn’t.
