Preview textThe snow today made the visibility a bit challenging, but the flat seas helped and we soon found our beloved 2 humpback whales that decided to spend their winter in Reykjavík! We then spotted a harbour seal and finally at least 30 white-beaked dolphins, including a couple of babies! Some of them were jumping around, and others were feeding.

Preview textWe sailed out with nearly clear skies and calm seas. First we encountered our 2 familiar humpback whales "Banana" and "Radar". They were going back and forth in the area actively searching for food. We then went onwards to find a pod of 4 white-beaked dolphins and on our way back home, we got one last look at the humpback whales again!

The sky was clear and stars clearly visible. We waited and kept our eyes open for the northern lights, but they never appeared, so we offered complimentary tickets to our patient guests so everyone has another chance to try again another night.

As soon as we left the harbour, we had seen our first northern lights! They were faint at first but soon enough, a huge arch was stretching from mt. Esja and out towards the open sea. It was incredible to watch them as they grew stronger!
