Report from Hafsúlan: as this tour would be the last one before the strong storm hit tonight, we were hoping to repeat yesterday's success with the dolphins but sadly we were not lucky once we left Reykjavik harbour. The wind became ever stronger as we were out, the wate
Report from Hafsúlan: we were not more than mile from the harbour when we found the white-beaked dolphins again, they seemed to have split up into smaller pods but we still saw maybe 30 plus close and in the distance. It was very beautiful how the low, warm, winter sun c

Report from Hafsúlan: Today we departed from Hafnarfjörður as that is where we left the boat yesterday and we decided to use the trip to bring it back to Reykjavik as the forecast for the weekend seems to allow tours from there and hopefully that will
Our first tour in the month of Desember took place today after three cancelled days in a row due to storm. We left from Keflavik and sailed towards Hafnarfjörður as we knew we would be mostly sheltered by land from the strong south-western wind. We started by sailing up

Report from Hafsúlan: And there were Orcas! Yay! Our first since July! The tour started with another boat telling us that they had seen a few white-beaked dolphins but by the time we arrived, the dolphins had vanished. Disappointed, but knowing we had the whole tour ahea
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. W
Report from Hafsúlan: It was a blustery day out on the bay, hence we decided to sailed out of the harbour of Hafnafjörður, a town 20 minutes drive from Reykjavík to gain shelter from the southwesterly winds. Sea conditions were good where we were and saw a pod of 6-8 whi
Report from Hafsúlan: this was a good tour despite the strong south-southwestern wind. Nothing happened for a while until my co-guide Sigurlaug suddenly spotted some dorsal fins very close as she was standing at the rear of the boat. First we saw one, then two, then thre
Report from Hafsúlan: The weather was similar to yesterday, not so windy and quite calm water. We sailed out to the area where we had seen the dolphins on the yesterday tour. When we were arriving we saw big flocks of sea birds flying around and we knew that was a good s
Report from Hafsúlan: the sea conditions were really good today so the sailing was very soft and it was easy for us to spot animals coming up to the surface from a great distance. We had only been sailing for 40 minutes when we spotted 3 white-beaked dolphins in front of us.

Report from Hafsúlan: due to strong south easterly winds we decided to sail from Hafnarfjörður to gain shelter along the coast of the Reykjanes peninsula. The clouds were thick but luckily for us it staid dry through the most part of the tour. When we were half way throug
Report from Hafsúlan: We sailed from Hafnarfjörður along the south coast of the Reykjanes peninsula to gain shelter from the strong southeasterly winds. It was quite comfortable as we headed west, enjoying all the seabirds gliding on the air currents. We were surprised to al
Report from Hafsúlan: It is still quite warm compared to this time of the year and the wind was not very strong so the waves were not big. The clouds made the sea surface brighter which makes it always easier for us to spot the cetaceans when they come to the surface to brea
