Tour at 2030 Report from Hafsùlan : WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW !!!! What an amazing tour ! We saw at least three Minke Whales, one came really close to the boat, we actually smelled it before we could see it.  And then more offshore we followed two Humpback Whales for a while, we got to see one breaching a couple of time right in front of the boat. We were already running out of time so started our way back to the harbour already really happy of what we saw. But that wasn't it!  Wildlife is unpredictable ! We stopped to watch a breaching Minke Whale and moreover we had to stop later on our way back to see the most impressive spectacle you could see in a whale watching tour. A Humpback Whale was breaching, tail slapping, flippers waving and slapping, belly up tail slapping, ... for half an hour !!! One person had emotional tears ! All of that under a beautiful warm sunset and with some live music. That was just unbelievable ! Probably one of the best tour of the year !

Tour at 1300 (Report from Hafsúlan) We stopped to watch Puffins straight after we left the harbor. The Island was great as there were many birds around and the weather was brilliant. Once we were a bit further out in the bay we spotted the first Minke Whale of the tour. After that it did not take us a long time to find a second one and than a third one and another one!!! They were surfacing in many different areas at least 10+ individuals. Some of them came so close to our vessel, that we could see their whole bodies under the surface, other were lunge feeding not far away. Great afternoon in a beautyful sunny bay with many Minke Whales and a lot of birds busy feeding above the whales.

Tour at 0900 (Report from Hafsúlan) We went straight out into the bay and decided to stop at Akurey on our way home. The first thing that we spotted was a blow in a big distance and it was a big blow! Once we came closer we were sure that we found a Humpback Whale!!! What a great surprise as we haven't seen them for a while. The Humpback was surfacing many times sometimes closer to us and then a bit further away. In between it went for long deep dives and we had to be a bit patient. After we had a great time with the Humpback we went on searching, what took us some time again. Just in the very end we had the first sign of a Minke Whale but it surfaced only once in a distance. When we already headed back towards Reykjavík we got finally a nice surprise as a Minke Whale surfaced just in front of us!!! Great happy ending of a great tour with one Minke and one Humpback!!!
