Report from Hafsúlan: The afternoon was better than this morning, if that was possible. We saw more wildlife and the weather get calmer too. We saw at least 4-5 Minke Whales close and in the distance, we even saw Humpie the Minke Whale, whale we have seen since 2011. The fi
Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had picked up a bit as we left the harbour this afternoon. We had almost a full boat so we were very eager to find some great whales. And as soon as we reached the area where we had seen the dolphins this morning, we were surrounded! White-beake

Report from Hafsúlan: The wind was stronger than it was in the morning tour so we decided to sail along the Reykjanes peninsula. That area has proven to be successful at this time of year and the peninsula also provides some shelter from the swell. Even so, we didn't spot an
Report from Hafsúlan:We sailed out in beautiful weather with sunning scenery, traveled a farse distance, further than we usually go to find the whales, dolphins and porpoises but unfortunately none were to be seen on this tour. They must all be getting ready for the lighting
Report from Hafsúlan: When we sailed back out to Faxaflói we were greeted by a pod of Harbour porpoises. They came quite close to us but once we stopped the boat they all went down for deep dives. We continued our journey and it wasn't long until we ran into a Minke Whale. W
Report from Hafsúlan: The weather was still excellent on our second tour. We sailed out Faxaflói bay to find White beaked Dolphins swimming around the boat. They didn't come very close but we could see them in a group of 20+ all around us. The dolphins were soon joined by a
Report from Hafsúlan: The day got even better as the wind calmed down even further and the swell reduced considerably. We headed out and the bay was rich with life. We saw many White-beaked dolphins, splashes seen in all directions near and far, when close to the dolphins th
Report from Hafsúlan: The weather was very much the same on this tour, rocky seas and a cold but crisp wintry air. Everyone made use of our free overalls we provide on board which kept everyone nice and warm. We sailed out to the area we were this morning and got word from a
Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had picked up on this tour to the point that waves were splashing on the side of the boat but those that were wearing the free overalls provided were having a lot of fun with the adventure. We searched and searched and searched on this tour but
Report from Hafsúlan: The weather stayed much the same on this tour however the wildlife changed immensely, we only saw 3-5 White-beaked Dolphins on this tour but we saw them very well as they were leaping around and occasionally surfacing close to the boat. We wish that we
Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had picked up this afternoon but this was good because it pushed the clouds away to get blue skies and a strong warm sun. We searched for a long time to spot of first Minke Whale which surfaced a few times but soon disappeared. Then it was a lo
Report from Hafsúlan: Well we thought it could not get any better we were wrong. The weather did get worse, as the mist enveloped the bay but the sea stayed perfectly calm as it was this morning. We sailed towards our usual spot and this time it was White-beaked Dolphins we
Report from Hafsúlan: The sea conditions were much like that of this mornings tour, calm but got rougher the further we headed offshore. We saw lots of White-beaked Dolphins on this tour probably 40+ in very scattered pods, most were feeding or being elusive but there was on
Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had picked up a bit as we left the harbour in the afternoon. It took us quite a while of sailing around to find the first pod of white-beaked dolphins. They were feeding like this morning and suddenly, after having surfaced a few times, they dis
Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had picked up a bit from this morning but it was still a wonderful day as we left the Reykjavík harbour this afternoon. But this time it took us a long time to find something. We sailed around along the Reykjanes peninsula for more than an hour
Report from Hafsúlan: The weather was still extremely beautiful, perfect day to be out in nature. The wind had calmed down too which was great. The wildlife had changed however and now very elusive on this tour. We got to see two pods of White-beaked Dolphins but they were v
Report from Hafsúlan: The wind had calmed on this afternoons tour but the skies still threatened with rain but it was just a threat as we stayed nice and dry throughout the tour. It was, however, very cold when heading into the warm so always remember to wrap up warm. We saw
