Tour at 20:30

Unfortunately we have cancelled the evening tour due to rough weather conditions.
 
Tour at 17:00

Report from Elding: We sailed out of the harbor in Hafnarfjörður again on this tour after a bit of a delay since we arrived a little late from the 14:00 tour. It was getting a bit more windy on this tour and therefor the sea was a bit rough but that was nothing a good overall and a seasickness pill could not fix! We had to sail out for a long while until we spotted a Minke Whale very close to the same area as we saw a Minke in the earlier tour. It was bit elusive, it surfaced few times before it disappered again. We searched a lot for other whales in the area but saw nothing else. We decided to end our tour in Keflavík so we could spend as much time as possible out in the bay searching. On our way to Keflavík we stopped by Hólmsbjarg to get a look at the seabirds there witch was very nice. It was a bit difficult tour with a rather poor sighting and not the best weather but here in Iceland both the whales and the weather is unpredictable!

Tour at 14:00

Report from Elding: This tour was a little different from usual because now we sailed out from Hafnarfjörður harbor instead of the old harbor in Reykjavik. It was not the easiest conditions, a bit windy and therefor the sea was a little choppy. We had to sail and search for a long time before we spotted a Minke Whale close to the small town Garður on Reykjanes. We watched that Minke for a quite a while as it surfaced pretty close to the boat and we all got a good look at it. All in all it was not the easiest of tours but all the effort paid off since we got such a good look at this nice Minke.

Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: after the unsuccessful tour in the morning, we decided to try a different strategy and a different area. Instead of going out in the bay, we decided to sail not so far from land and along the Sudurnes Peninsula towards Garðskagi Peninsula. The little success we had on this trip came in the shape of a small pod of Harbour Porpoises (3-6) with at least one calf. They were not elusive and actually seemed to enjoy our company but then we lost them. No whales again and we ended up giving complimentary tickets on the second tour in a row. What a bad day for whales. But there is always another day! :)

Tour at 09:00

Report from Hafsúlan: we went out with a full boat and were hoping for a good tour. However, with the exception of a full and splendid Lundey Island (Puffin Island) and a resident Common Seal, which not everyone got to see though as it dived down very quickly after we arrived, there was not a single whale, dolphin or porpoise to be seen under the rainy, dark clouds out in Faxaflói Bay today. In the end we gave everyone a complimentary ticket that is valid for two years in the hope that they will join us in the future for another tour.

Report from Elding: We left Reykjavík older harbor this morning and sailed straight to Lundey. It was amazing to see all those Puffins flying around our vessel and the best was a Harbor Seal that surfaced close to our boat. After this promising start into the day we sailed out in the bay. Unfortunately we did not had the same luck during the tour and the seal was the only mammal we saw. Even we were searching in a great area we could not find any sign of a whale today, so we gave everyone on board a complimentary ticket to try to find the whales another day with us.
