Rare Peregrina651 Posted July 9, 2021 Author #954 Share Posted July 9, 2021 In Heimaey today. Did the Wildlife boat trip today -- not the RIB boat. If it is raining or going to rain, raingear is a must, including waterproof pants. The best view is outside on the deck. The seats are metal and hold the cold and the wet. Keeping cameras dry is also an issue. Don't forget wind chill factor on deck. Guide Telma was very good. Lots of stories and good information. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guide said puffins love the foggy mist and if it was sunny, they'd go out to sea so we were then grateful for our misty weather. The tour was a blast and our guide Bjorn was excellent. We also had a fun captain who played great music and gave us a wild ride. Our guide told us the baby puffins are left behind when the parents leave in late August or early September and they come into town because of the street light that get their attention, so they rescue thousands of them each year. We had on full body rain gear so wear a lighter jacket as mine wouldn't fit under the suit so I left it in their storage room. I was plenty warm with just a long sleeve shirt under their suit. So another tour I'd highly recommend! Thanks for this review. I am wondering how rough the ride is. I have a bad back, but still hope to do it. Thanks!

Lynne The hardest part was swinging your legs over the seats. It's like getting on a small pony. I don't have a bad back but never felt any hard slams and we had moderate seas. They do warn about having back issues for this excursion though but didn't experience anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TayanaLorna Posted July 9, 2021 #962 Share Posted July 9, 2021 On the included and optional excursions, were you able to leave a bag in the coach. I assume you always returned back to the same bus after each walk or site exploration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The excursions manager who did the port and excursion talks, was the voice of doom and gloom. Every single time she described one of our excursions, I was convinced I couldn’t do it, yet every one was easy! Hopefully she has lightened up for this second cruise, and tomorrow the third. Don’t be talked/ scared out of something you really want to do unless you know, yourself, that you can’t do it.

Like a snowmobile suit. I brought rain pants just to be safe for other tours, though, but luckily didn't need them. Hope this helps! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWantToLiveOverTheSea Posted July 9, 2021 #970 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I looked at Marine Traffic this afternoon and was surprised to see that Jupiter took a little trip. She spent the day anchored off the Reykjanes peninsula, and had a couple tender boats out moving around. Now she is headed back to Reykjavik. As I future Jupiter cruiser, I'm started to get really excited! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL 266 BOS-KEF is scheduled to depart at 10:25 barring any weather delays. Delays and cancellations of connecting flights might have caused the problem. The weather in the northeast has been far from ideal today. As for information from Viking Air it has not been the most accurate in our dealings with them.

Check with your carrier via their websites for the latest information. According to flightaware the incoming flight (Delta 1038) was just over an hour delayed leaving ATL, but should be arriving in BOS at 9:36. Hopefully that'll be enough time to get #266 to KEF out on time. Thursday's flight Delta # 266 left BOS about 1.5 hours late but was not cancelled. My sense is that flights on the east coast have been affected by Elsa. Edited July 9, 2021 by ejc14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inbound flight is supposed to land 5 min after boarding is said to begin on the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
