Report from Elding: the wind was getting stronger by the day but it rained a little less than in the morning. We began by going to the area where we had gotten good sightings of the minke whales in the morning tour. When we came to the area it was not as lively as it had bee
Report from Hafsúlan: It rained more and the wind was getting stronger with more waves on the bay so the boat rocked more than it had done this morning. We headed south to get shelter from Reykjanes peninsula but it was not easy to find a lot of life on the way. We saw some
Report from Hafsúlan: As we left for our tour this afternoon we found perfect sighting conditions in the bay. There was a bit of sun and almost no wind, with the ocean surface almost as calm as a mirror. Shortly after leaving the harbour we turned around after hearing about
Report from Hafsúlan: The rain spotted and we could enjoy this tour in dryness, the sun pushing through the clouds and the sun's rays shining over the landscape. It took us a while to spot our first marine mammal but once we did it was none stop there after. It was a small p
Report from Hafsúlan: As we left the harbour this afternoon we were greeted by almost perfect conditions for sighting cetaceans. There was light rain pretty much throughout the tour, but the wind had died down almost completely and the ocean surface was of a perfect light gr
Report from Hafsúlan: it was getting a little colder as the day went by and we got a light rain on us every now and then through tour. The sea conditions were just amazing, the sea was very flat and bright which made it easy for us to spot animals from a great distance. The
Report from Hafsúlan: Our third tour today also started in Hafnarfjörður but ended in Reykjavík. There was a bit of wind and still swell. Our "birdwatching" tour this evening was quite diverse as we saw feeding gannets, gliding and resting fulmars, migrating geese, passing m

Report from Hafsúlan: The wind was getting stronger again after the calm afternoon but the sun was still able to shine down on us between the clouds. The sea conditions were getting a little tougher and the waves whiter when we sailed out on the bay this evening. We had been
Report from Elding: we sailed out from Keflavik in windy conditions but mainly sheltered by the land where we went so the sea conditions were favourable. We traveled along the peninsula to Garður and found a minke whale close to the cliffs there. It surfaced a few times and
Report from Hafsúlan: Because we spent most of this tour fairly close to shore there were less waves and it did not take us very long to find the first minke whale. That was how our non-stop sighting period started. For about one and a half hours we were constantly watching

Report from Hafsúlan: We decided to sail in a different direction than we had done in the afternoon tour to escape the strong wind and big waves. We sailed east along side Reykjanes peninsula where we got shelter from the wind. The sea was calm but unfortunately the animal l
Report from Hafsúlan: it was slowly clearing up but still the clouds covered most of the sky this evening. The wind was not as strong like it had been in the afternoon tour and the swells not as high which made the searching for the cetaceans easier. We began by going to the
Report from Hafsúlan: The light rain was coming and going and at the beginning of the tour we were without references of landscape around us but it cleared up more and more, so that Reykjanes appeared in front of us and for one moment we even saw a bit of sky. The wind and s
Reports from Hafsúlan and Elding: For the vast amounts of passengers joining us this morning we took out 2 boats for our scheduled 9am departure. It could not have been better. Sea was calm, wildlife was plentiful and the sun was trying to break through the interesting cloud
