WHALE WATCHING WESTFJORDS
30/06/2017: On our three calm tours from Hólmavík today we saw humpback whales, four in total over the day. On the first tour we also got to see a Minke whale briefly as it surfaced very close to us. We are getting to know some of the regular whales we are seeing here at the moment, and all the humpbacks we saw today were individuals we also saw yesterday.
Not only is this a great whale watching spot, there are also many birds to see. It is very usual for us to see many puffins, but today we also saw two red-necked phalaropes and a number of whooper swans, which were a beautiful sight as they flew over us. Judith (Tour guide)
