A little bit more difficult this afternoon. We sailed again to the same area where we were previously and there were a few Minke whales out there. They usually just surfaced once and then disappeared for a long time so it was difficult to spot them. At the end of the tour, t
Again a pretty wet and windy trip, but we headed out in spite of the weather. A few passengers were able to spot Harbour Porpoises on the way out, but they disappeared quite quickl
The wind picked up a bit this late afternoon tour, but the whales were still quite amazing. We had a few Minke whales and a lot of feeding group of seabirds mainly gulls, Kittiwakes and Puffins, too. One Minke whale in particular stayed in the area and was feeding moving fro
The whales didn't behave much better in the evening. We spotted several times a blow but the whales to whom they belonged, never show up. There were a few minke whales in the area but they weren't cooperative at all. In the end we spotted one minke whale a few times far away
We started the tour at Akurey to visit the puffins. Then we headed out on Faxaflói to look for the whales. The search was not difficult as they had not travelled far since our last tour. The minke whales behaved much like earlier today, and they were just as many. Another go
We sailed out again and we had to go a bit further out than this morning. Whales moved a bit more offshore but at the end we spotted them. Many minke whales, then we has two sightings of white-beaked dolphins. Seabirds were really amazing , too.
The wind went down again so the sea was nice and calm and still very sunny. We sailed to a similar area as earlier today and the Minke whales were still out there. We spotted 8-10 Minke whales throughout the tour usually 2-3 in each area where we stopped. They were calmer th
Still pretty rough out there this afternoon and we had a bit of a bumpy ride. In spite of the waves, we were able to spot a few Minke whales in one area, often surfacing about 100m away but sometimes quite close to the boat! Again lots of Gannets around as well as all the other
The weather was not perfect, but better than in the previous tours ;-) Still a bit rough but we headed out on Faxaflói none the less and got our best sightings of the day! We found a really good area with large flocks of feeding birds and were lucky to get a good look at a c
The wind had picked up a little bit but the conditions were still nice out on the bay. This evening there were almost no seabirds out on the bay and we weren't as lucky as in the previous tours. The food wasn't close to the surface but located deeper so the sightings weren't
Very nice tour, still covered a bit since it was drizzling but the whales were really nice and they came close at least a couple of them. One in particular, a Minke whale surfaced less than 30 meter at 12 and we could even see the side flippers and the white band on them. Very
Cancelled due to bad weather and sea conditions
Report from Elding: We started the trip at Akurey (puffin island) where we could see quite a few birds. We then headed out onto the bay and were able to spot many big groups of feeding birds. Towar
In this trip we had the best weather conditions and the visibility was perfect. We could see all the beautiful mountains in the distance and the sky was dramatic. We spotted few minke whales but they were quite shy individuals, didn´t show a lot of their bodies and didn´t w
The wind had calmed down a little and the sun was shining this evening out on the bay. The whales were easier to observe on this tour than at 13 o'clock, they were many in the area and surfacing close to the boat with shallow dives in between. We got several good sightings c
Report from Elding: Again the sea was pretty rough but we decided to take some brave passengers out to look for the whales. We headed to the same area as we were in this morning and aga
The wind had picked up quite a lot and the sea was a bit more rough than on the previous two tours. We had to sail quite far to find the whales but spotted 4-6 Minke whales, 1 or 2 of which we could spot within 30m of the boat! A nice trip in spite of the worsening weather!
The wind had picked up a little bit and the sea was choppy out on the bay. We were however lucky again and found an area with many feeding birds and many minke whales that surfaced all around the boat, both close to us and far away. We had one particularly good sighting when
It was still windy out on the bay this evening. We started out in Akurey, the puffin island, but there were not many puffins there for some reason. When we got out on the bay we were very lucky and found an area with many feeding birds, both gannets and other sea birds, and
Report from Hafsúlan: The wind went down a lot, light conditions were really good with calm sea. We sailed first to Akurey then to the whales. We spotted several Minke whales, slowly surfacing and at the very end they showed up very close to the boat. Report from Elding: Anothe
Another good day out there. Minke whales were so many we didn't know where to look. In fact, every time we stopped we had an average of 4 individuals. Ganntes were actively feeding as well, dropping down fast into the sea!
Still very good weathe
