Let there be lights!
It could not have been a more memorable evening....calm seas and active skies showed us that we have not seen all things that need to be seen just yet! Crew did a great job; very informative and captivated along with us all at the light show. Would suggest getting the northern lights photo taker for the iPhone prior to getting on the boat.

In the morning, we enjoyed a stunning sunrise as we spotted a calm and graceful humpback whale just off Viðey island. In the afternoon, under bright sunshine, we encountered a shy juvenile humpback whale teasing us with brief surfaces. But just as we were heading back, it stole the show with an incredible breach right in front of the boat.

- NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
As the auroras were elusive tonight, we offered everyone complimentary tickets.. but then, an arch of northern lights appeared on the horizon! Though the sighting was brief, it was a magical end to our night in Faxaflói bay.
