Report from Hafsúlan: The afternoon trip started out with some rain, just as the morning trip had ended. Later during the trip, however, the sky cleared and we got beautiful looks at the surrounding scenery and sunshine reflecting off the water surface. While following the b
Report from Hafsúlan: We had a successful morning tour so when we headed out from Reykjavík we were very confident. While in the morning it took us a while to find something, this afternoon it only took us around 30 minutes to find our first species! We found a Minke Whale!
Report from Hafsúlan: The weather stayed pretty much the same this afternoon no not much to report there. The first cetacean spotted was a Minke Whale that surfaced a couple of times but quite difficult to point out. We were about to head further out when another whale watch
Report from Hafsúlan: After a good morning we headed back out into what turned out to be a much livelier Faxaflói in the afternoon. It started much like the previous tour with a few brief White-Beaked Dolphin and Harbour Porpoise sightings but after sailing further out turne
Report from Hafsúlan: The bay was still swirming with life on our second tour. The large pod of dolphins had shifted but we still saw two smaller pods of White Beaked Dolphins not far from Reykjavík. We also saw at least three different Minke whales. On our way back to the h

Report from Hafsúlan: Again the weather was just beautiful as we headed out, totally smooth ocean and the sun came out in between the clouds. We headed towards the area where we were this morning but there wasn't as much life there like earlier so we decided to head more t
Report from Hafsúlan: It was still calm as we headed out this afternoon. After a short sailing we found minke whales. There were 4 or 5 of them swimming calmly along in quite a large area. After we had seen some splashes in the distance we decided to leave the minkes behind.
Report from Hafsúlan and Elding: Both the weather and the sea were in fantastic form today as we sailed from Reykjavík. A clear sky and shining sun lit our way, at the beginning we even got a brief look at Harbour Porpoises that made a quick appearance. As we sailed further
Report from Hafsúlan: This afternoon, due to the swell, we decided to head to where we were yesterday hoping the sea conditions would be better there. On the way there we spotted a Minke Whale but always quite far away and surfacing again always randomly as it constantly cha
Report from Hafsúlan and Elding: 4 Species this afternoon. Amazing! The swell was still high out in the bay so we started where we left of on the last tour, Hafnafjörður. We first sailed out in a snow storm but the sun soon made it through the clouds and sunny the rest of th
Report from Hafsúlan: Today we sailed from Hafnafjörður in order to stay sheltered against the wind, though the sea itself wasn´t very swelly and the ride was mostly very comfortable. It didn´t take long before we had our first sighting of the day, we managed to spot a pod o
Report from Hafsúlan and Elding: As we sailed this afternoon we were greeted by blue sky and sunshine! This kept changing throughout the tour as we sailed through sun, then hail, then sun. On the way out we came across a huge flock of seabirds including Fulmar, Kittiwakes an
Report from Hafsúlan: We sailed from Hafnafjörður this time as we finished there on the morning tour, it didn´t take long for us to spot the same Harbour Porpoises that we saw at the end of the last tour. They were still feeding and watching the birds swoop down to take thei
Report from Hafsúlan: The animals we met on our second tour of the day all seemed very preoccupied with feeding. First we saw a pod of Harbour porpoises. They didn't seem boat-shy at all so we stopped the boat and observed them feeding for some time. We then carried on until
Report from Hafsúlan and Elding: With the weather much the same as this morning we sailed out with high hopes after the previous tour. The excitement began early on when we spotted a Minke whale of our bow. What ensued was a bit of a chase, we saw minkes here and there with
