Tour at 13:00

Tour at 13:00

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

Tour at 13:00

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

Tour at 13:00

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

Tour at 13:00

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

Tour at 1300

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

Tour at 13:00

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

Tour at 13:00 Report from Hafsúlan: the wind had slowed down and the sea conditions were much better. After a very long time searching we saw some Nothern Gannets that were hunting, and seconds later 6-8 White-beaked dolphins that were feeding. They moved fast and jumped out of the ocean. It was

Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: In the afternoon, the sea was still perfectly calm and we directly went out towards where we had seen the Minke Whales in the morning. We were lucky, it took us not long until we spotted a black back of a Minke Whale again. It surfaced calmly several ti

Report from Hafsúlan: In the afternoon, the wind was still very low and the visibility was outstanding! We headed out towards where we had seen the Minke Whales in the morning to see if they were still around. Indeed, as we arrived in the area, it did not take us long until

Report from Hafsúlan: When we sailed out this afternoon, the wind had calmed down and clouds with a bit of rain alternated with sunshine so we were able to see several beautiful rainbows. We went out towards where we had seen the dolphins on the last tour, but were happy to
