Report from Hafsúlan: The weather seemed to have cleared up this afternoon, revealing here and there patches of blue sky and only a mild wind was blowing. Encouraged from this morning's sightings of a lunge feeding Minke Whale, we headed from bird flock to bird flock in sear
Report from Hafsúlan: As usual after a morning tour we headed out to the same area where we were successful, this area would prove to have nothing for us to see. This meant we had to keep sailing out further into the bay, we actually sailed much further than we have had to i
Report from Hafsúlan: If the morning was considered a huge success then this afternoon should be considered something special. And it was all down to one huge event right at the end of the tour, but more about that later. We sailed first for the same area we were successful
Report from Hafsúlan: The morning gave us a very entertaining show and with more excellent weather our spirits were very high this fine afternoon. More perfectly calm ocean and warm wind, even a tour without sightings would have been enjoyable. But we had some great sighting
Report from the Hafsúlan: This afternoon the vessel sailed out into the Bay of Flaxafloí with light rain and overcast skies. The search for marine mammals has proven to be more difficult this afternoon as birds were rarely encountered and thus couldn't be used as indicators
Report from Hafsúlan: There was almost no cloud on the sky and only a soft breeze was blowing when we headed out to Flaxafloí Bay this afternoon. Similar to the morning tour we were fortunate enough to spot a couple of Harbour Porpoises early on. Two different Minke Whales e
Report from Hafsúlan: Our morning gave us some success but we´re always on the hunt for that little extra here at Elding! Our special factor for this afternoon was that for a very long time during the tour we were constantly surrounded by diving Northern Gannets, they were d
Report from Hafsúlan: We had a successful morning and the weather was still excellent, the mood was perfect as we sailed from Reykjavík this afternoon. This afternoon it took us a little longer to find our first species but it was worth it, after around 45 minutes we found o
Report from Hafsúlan: What an afternoon! The conditions for whale watching were perfect! The sun was shining and the sea was very calm. The visability was very good as well. We started by seeing few Harbour Porpoises on our way out. When we got further out we spotted few Min
Report from Hafsúlan: For the afternoon tour the wind had died down, but was unfortunately replaced by light rain after we had left the harbour. But after only about 30 minutes of sailing we saw our first pod of Harbour Porpoises. As we sailed further we kept finding new pod
Report from Hafsúlan: The weather had lightened over the afternoon. Here and there the sun came out to play as the vessel headed out to Flaxaflói Bay. In comparison to the morning many flocks of seabirds had started forming, extensively feeding at the surface. Following thos
Report from Hafsúlan: In the afternoon the sea condition was even milder than in the morning. We sailed out far to the Southwest, hoping to see Happy, the Minke Whale from this morning, again at the previous site. While we were searching out the resting and feeding bird floc
Report from Hafsúlan: This afternoon we headed out in even calmer conditions. Less wind and higher temperatures made this whale watching trip even more enjoyable. Initially, we waited for quite some time until we got sight of a Minke Whale heading towards Akranes. The indivi
Report from Hafsúlan: Though at the beginning of the tour we had to endure some rain it quickly cleared and the sun made a few appearances, good old unpredictable Icelandic weather. But the sea was still very calm and our sailing was nothing but smooth. And this afternoon we
Report from Hafsúlan: A continuation of the mornings weather meant that once again we had the perfect conditions for whale watching. And the success from the morning meant we were even more confident. We sailed out into the area where we had seen whales in the morning but co
Report from Hafsúlan: The sun was still shining this lovely afternoon. With a full boat we sailed out to the same areas we were this morning. We did not have to wait for long to see small pod of Harbour Porpoises. They were swimming next to us for few seconds before heading
Report from Elding, Elding II and Skrúður: The weather today was absolutely perfect, the sea was still and the wind could barely be felt. The sun was shining too, it was actually warm today! Add the great weather to the four species we got to see this afternoon and we have a
Report from Elding: With the sun at our backs we sailed forth from Reykjavík hoping to have another successful tour as the morning had been. When we had been sailing for just over 30 minutes we came across a pod of 10-15 Harbour Porpoise that were actually fun to watch! They
