Report from Hafsúlan: Finally the cloud cover broke up more so that we could enjoy the sunshine on us, but also on certain parts of our surroundings like the mountain chain Esja or the capital Reykjavik. We found 2 minke whales which we could not identify, one closer and one
Report from Hafsúlan: The tour started out with almost no wind, moderate amount of sunshine and calm sea - excellent whale watching weather. Initially, we had to search for quite some time before we spotted a blow in the distance. This blow belonged to a minke whale that sur

Report from Hafsúlan: As the sun was setting the wind was getting stronger, but it was still pleasant to sail and watch for whales. Due to the great visibility we were also able to see Snæfellsjökull in the distance over-towering the bay of Faxafloí. We were searching alread
Report from Hafsúlan: Yet again, the wind had picked a notch on this tour but the skies were still clear, the sun was shining bright and the Snæfellsjökull glacier greeted us from across the bay as we sailed out of the harbour. This time around, it did take us quite a while
Report from Hafsúlan: It was still quite windy this afternoon as we headed out. We had to sail for a while until we finally found some diving northern gannets. They were apparently feeding and seemed to be plummiting from the skies! Awesome! We did find some two or three min

Report from Hafsúlan: The sea conditions got rougher during the day as the swell increased and the wind got stronger too. So we had a roller coaster ride out into the long swell, wave up and down. Then it also started drizzling and later on we sailed under dark clouds of lig
