Tour at 0900 (Report from Hafsúlan) This morning we stopped on our way out at Akurey to watch the Puffins on the island. After that we headed straight into Faxaflói Bay were it did not take us a long time to spot the first Minke Whale of the tour. It seemed to be searching for prey as it surfaced shortly and dived for a long time in between. In the same area we found after a while at least two other individuals, that we watched for some time. One of the came suddendly just 3 meter in front of our boat to the surface! Wow, this was a great surprise. Once they were more difficult to spot we decided to change our location and headed on. It was the right decicion as we found 2+ other Minke Whales and two pods of Harbor Porpoises each around 2-4 individuals. What a great situation with two species around us, the Porpoises even dived under the boat and surfaced slowly not more than 2 meter away from us, at the same time Minke Whales surfaced at the other side of the boat. It was great to compare their size to the size of a Minke Whale! Great start into a beautyful bay!
