Tour at 2030 Report from Hafsùlan : We sailed out from Reykjavik older harbor in beautiful sea and weather conditions, cloudy but no wind so it felt really warm. We first stopped at Puffin Island on the way out, there we got to see a lot of our favorite birds. It didn't take a long time before we saw our first Minke Whale ! We watched it for a while and not even 2 minutes after we left this Minke we already spotted another one and it kept going like this throughout the tour in the way we had great sightings of over 7 Minkes. The best part for me was the pod of at least 12 White-Beaked Dolphins we follow for a while in between two Minkes. They were travelling but got close to the boat, leaping and breaching so we could see there were some calf and juvenile in the group. Great sighting ! On the way back, everybody enjoyed the live music covering mostly some nice Beatles songs ! Everybody got home smiling !

Tour at 1700 (Report from Hafsúlan) The rain stopped again when we left the harbor. On the way into Faxaflói Bay we stopped at Akurey to watch puffins. After that we were sailing for a while and spotted two Minke Whales and three Harbor Porpoises shortly. But we headed on out in the bay until we found two Minke Whales surfacing together at the same time around our boat. They were just amazing to watch, hear and smell. We stayed with them for a long time until there were three boats around and it was getting busy in the area around those Minkes. We decided to leave them in peace and slowly headed back towards land. On our way back we spottet one more Minke Whale that we followed shortly until we definetly had to leave the bay. Great tour in a calm bay with nice Minke Whales around us.

tour at 1400 Report from Elding : We went out again in the same area than in the morning and found quite a lot of minke whales on this tour, very busy feeding under the surface of the water. It was really interesting to see this feeding behaviour rolling under the surface and also nice to see all the birds getting excited and knowing where the whales were and will surface. It was mostly loud Kittiwakes and gulls, but also someGannets, Common Guillemots, arcti terns and many Puffins around too, as well as fulmars. We several times and once just in front of the boat battles or arctic skuas against kittiwakes, harrassing the poor birds to drop off the fish they had on their beaks. On our waz back we stopped at akurey island and there was so manz puffins, the tide was hight so we could get closer and see them really well.

tour at 1000 Report from Elding : We sailed out for 30 minutes before finding our first Minke Whale. We've seen in total 5 Minkies, most of them were quite difficult and between 40 meters to 100 meters. But we saw one surfacing much closer and had a good look at it. On the way back to the puffin island Akurey, we saw a pod of 5-10 white beaked dolphins tight and fast travelling going in the opposite direction of our boat that we didnt follow for long, but most of people saw them clearly. they were at 30 meters from the boat. We also saw a Pomarine Skua chasing Arctic terns and Kittiwakes. Then we saw our cute puffins which were all around.

Tour at 0900 (Report from Hafsúlan) We started the day in Reykjavík's older harbor and sailed to Lundey a Puffin colony close to Iceland's capital. It was great to see so many of those cute birds flying all around our vessel. After this amazing start we sailed further out into the bay and soon we found the first Minke Whale of the day. It was great to stay with this individual for a long time as it was surfacing many times not far away from us. Once we all had a good look we decided to go on with the searching and tried to find another individual. First we passed by at several flocks of feeding birds and than we spotted a second Minke Whale on the tour! Again great to look at and we even could smell and hear this Minke. Good start into a new day in Faxaflói Bay wit two Minke Whales around us.
