After only a few minutes a huge group of white-beaked dolphins came along, passing by, porpoising and breeching - great to obeserve for quite a while. The search for the Minke Whale took us much longer on this tour, but we finally came to an area with at least 2 individuals.
This time we first encountered a group of White-beaked dolphins, quite a few of some widely distributed in the area, all around the boat. Great to watch them! For the minke whales we had to be patient quite a while, but managed to find them far outside. Again, a lot of seab

In the beginning of the tour we tried to find the orca again, but unfortunately could't spot it again. So we headed out into Faxaflói and encountered a very big group of Harbour porpoises, at least 10 came up a lot of times, surfacing very slowly and great to observe.

Minke whale, harbour porpoises and white-beaked dolphins!
The tour was cancelled due to the strong weather conditions.
We went on two trips today and spotted a lot of Harbour porpoises on both tours. Weather conditions became rather strong during the day, making it quite difficult to search the water surface for wildlife, stherefore we have been lucky to observe the little Porpoises.
