Tour at 13:00. One more time we headed out from Hafnarfjörður. The weather was fine, calm see but little bit clouded. We sailed straight out to the area were we spotted some dolphins yesterday. After searching for a while we spotted one group of White-beaked dolphins. It was obvious that they did not like the boat and were always diving for a long time and surfacing further away from us. We tried to follow them for a while but in the end they disappeared. We headed further out looking for some thing more. We spent a lot of time searching but we couldn´t find any thing else. So today we only found one difficult group of White-beaked dolphins. We ended the tour in Reykjavík.
Tour at 13:00. The tour today from Hafnarfjörður was not as good as we hoped for. Even though the weather was nice. The herring had moved away from the place it was yesterday so all the dolphins had also left. We had to go further out to find them. After searching for a while we spotted some splashes in a distance. It was a small group of White-beaked dolphins. The group was traveling so it was difficult to keep op with them but some animals came very close and the passengers were able to see them very well.
Tour at 13:00. We went out from Hafnarfjörður harbor today in a very nice weather. The sun was shining and hardly any wind. To make a long story short the tour was very similar to the trips last two weekends, lots of nice White-beaked dolphins and birds but no larger whales despite allot of food. The weather looks very promising for tomorrow and Sunday. Nice day on the bay.
Tour at 13:00. As before, we went from Hafnarfjörður. The weather was not so good, windy and a bit of rain. Because of the wind we stayed close to shore and headed for the Keflavík aria and put our trust on the herring-shoal witch we found on Friday. And it was still there and so were a lot of White beaked dolphins. As usual, we met them while they were having a seafood-buffet so it was allot of fun observing them. The dolphins were spread over a big aria so it was difficult to know how many they were but at least 40 individuals were feeding there alongside with Gannets and other seabirds. Sadly still no humpback despite all the food. Allir komu þeir aftur og enginn þeirra dó.
Tour at 13:00. We headed out from harbor of Hafnarfjörður. It was little bit windy and some hail, but we sailed very close to land so we had some shelter from it. After some time we found a small group of White-beaked dolphins it was very difficult group of dolphins, always diving fore a long time and coming up in different areas. Then we headed further out. Very close to Keflavík we spotted the second group of White-beaked dolphins and this group was in a good whale watching moode. Some came very close to the boat; some was jumping out of the water and swimming all around our boat. We stayed with them fore a while and had a lot of good opportunity to watch them well. Many dolphins Gannets and kittiwakes to day in the bay.
Tour at 13:00. Again we headed out from Hafnarfjörður. The weather was beautiful, calm see and hardly any wind. We sailed straight to Keflavík were we saw lot of birds yesterday. And they were still there but no sign of whales. So we headed further out. Then we spotted some splashes in the distance and when we got closer we saw it was some jumping White-beaked dolphins. They showed a lot of interest in the boat and approached our boat often. We stayed with them for a while and enjoyed them a lot.

Tour at 13:00. Today we headed out from Hafnafjörður harbor in a really nice weather. After sailing for 15 min we saw a really small group of Harbour porpoises, they surfaced only few times before disappearing. Then we headed further out. We found lots of feeding gannets and other birds really close to Keflavík, but no whales. And we kept on searching, and after two hours we suddenly spotted three White beaked dolphins. We followed them for a while, when suddenly the ocean was packed of dolphins. They came really close to the boat, bow riding and playing all around the boat. It was fantastic to watch. Our passenger were rewarded for their patience.
Tour at 13:00. Today we set out from Hafnarfjörður on two boats Hafsúlan and Elding. The weather was nice but the wind was speeding up during the tour. Elding spotted the first group of White-beaked Dolphins. But when Hafsulan arrived the dolphins had disappeared. We kept on and finally we found nice group of White-beaked dolphins. We stayed with them for a while and some of them came very close to the boat. But the wind was speeding up and the time was running so we headed back to the harbor of Hafnarfjörður.
