On our one morning tour from Ólafsvík today we did not have to go far before our eagle eyed captain saw a splash, which turned into hundreds of long-finned pilot whales along with white-beaked dolphins. We spent the whole whale watch moving from one small group to another as we could see fins all around us in every direction. We quite often see pilot whales in Breidafjördur at this time of year, but what was wonderful about these was that they were in a social mood, with many spy-hops, rolling around, curious whales coming to check us out, bubble blowing and even one spitting water out of its mouth! We also got great looks at a small calf that still had foetal folds on its skin. The dolphins were jumping around in the distance too, and gave us a few close looks near the end. Judith (Tour guide)
