Report from Hafsúlan: We finally headed out into a beautiful sunny morning in Faxa Bay. It took us only 20 minutes until we spotted jumping White Beaked Dolphins. It was a very large pod of 40-50 individuals everywhere around us. We stayed with them a long time and as they headed away from us we followed slowly and they started jumping again right in front of us, turning while jumping and even tail slapping whis is a feeding behaviour when they scare und stun the fish. It was an amazing picture with the Whale Fjord in the background. We decided to leave the White Beaked Dolphins and headed further out to find some Minke Whales. And there was a lot going on in the bay today, after a short time we found a couple of Minke Whales actually between 10 to 20 animals! We stayed with the Minke Whales that where around us the closest and enjoyed their surfacing very close to the boat. There were not a lot of Atlantic Puffins on Lundey, the Puffin Island we visited on the way back probably because they were offshore fishing. It was a terrific start in the day!
