Tour at 17:00 Report from Hafsúla The wind had picked up a little bit this evening when we sailed out. The puffins were at home in Akurey when we took our stop there. We searched for a very long time now. We saw few harbour porpoises fast swimming away

Tour at 1700 The first evening tour and it was great. It was alot nicer to have 9 passengers onboard to have more one to one contact and talk more with each. We headed very far offshore and saw many blows most likely of Minke Whales during the duration
