The minke whale again
We found the minke whale from yesterday again at pretty much the same place. Like yesterday we managed to see it quite close to the boat. It was sunny today so it was in the whole a beautiful trip. Þórdís, guide.
A minke whale and puffins
Today we finally saw a minke whale which we haven't seen for some days now. It had been a bit windy today but it had calmed down when we went out. After searching for an hour or so the minke whale popped up right next to the boat and we managed to see it a…
More porpoises
The weather remains beautiful but again the only whales we saw were harbour porpoises. The bird life in the bay in the last days has been good though, we have seen a lot of puffins and the gannets. Hopefully we'll start to see some bigger whales soon. Þórdís, guide.
