    We started the tour with a trip to puffin island. On the way there we encountered a group of harbour porpoises just outside the harbour! We were very happy to have this early encounter. We tried our luck on Faxaflói bay, but only when we were sailing back to the harbour we e

    Our luck changed and we had a breaching Minke whale! It jumped twice out of the water and stayed with us for about an hour afterwards. It was splashing about, showed us its fluke and belly. We could see it clearly under the waters surface and were able to observe some great

    An afternoon with a big surprise. We started the tour by visiting Puffin Island where we again saw a lot of puffins. It seems that they will start breeding soon. We didn´t expect to see much on this tour because we hadn't found any whales on the morning tour. For quite a whi
