Whale Diary

11:00 - The weather was nice, the sun was shining through the clouds but the sea was a little choppy. We had to go out quite far into the bay, before we found a Minke whale. Which was really nice, because unlike its usual behavior it showed itself very often and also was curious about the boat. It came very close to observe us and that gave us the opportunity to also look at it. We stayed with it for a while and then had to leave for the harbor. It was a great tour.

14:00 - The sea was a little bit choppy, and the waves made for a fun adventure ride in Faxafloi. There were lots and lots of seabirds today - hundreds of sea gulls, northern gannets, the occasional puffin, and lots of other birds. We found a humpback whale that was diving about 7 minute each time before coming up. Since the whale wasn´t travelling too far, we were able to get some beautiful looks at his fluke from up close. On the way back to the harbour we made a quick stop at Akurey to say goodbye to some more puffins, and then we had a fun ride back to the harbour.
