We headed out in a beautiful weather and started the tour by visiting Lundey, the puffin island. After that we sailed out and only after few minuets a passenger spotted a minke whale. This whale was surfacing again and again so this was great sighting for us. Then later on we founded a really nice group of white beaked dolphins! They came really close to the boat and stayed with us for a long time, surfacing many times and jumping out of the water. This was just amazing to have these dolphins in the midnight sun, and what a midnight sun! wow! A great tour!
Birds seen on tour: Puffins, fulmars, razor bills, kittiwakes, eider ducks

We started the tour by visiting the Puffin Island Lundey where we saw bunch of cute puffins and kittiwakes. We then sailed further out to Faxaflói bay and spotted a group of White Beaked Dolphins. After observing them for a while we went to another area in search for other whales. Unfortunately we weren't able to spot other species :( but the weather was sunny and nice. And the sky was spectacular, painted by clouds and colourful light effects.

The wind was very calm this afternoon when we headed out to find the whales. It did not take us a long time to find our first Minke Whale. We were able to watch it many times surfacing and suddenly we spotted some Harbour Porpoises as well! Later on we found another group of harbour porpoises among other minke whales as well! We experienced real Icelandic weather as well, sunny weather, windy, calm, raining, rainbows and then sunny again! So all in all very nice tour!
Birds seen on tour: Puffins, gannets, fulmars, eider ducks, arctic terns, and guillemots

We sailed out to Faxaflói bay and soon spotted a nice group of Harbour Porpoises. After observing them for a while we went further out in search for bigger animals. We spotted 2 Minke Whales which we managed to get a good look at. We then spotted the Harbour Porpoises again and after that, the minke whale again. This Minke Whale was a good individual. On the way back to the Harbour we stopped at Lundey, the puffin Island where we saw bunch of Puffins flying around.

We headed out to Faxaflói after seeing the puffins at Akurey. The weather was calm and nice so we had good whale watching conditions. We spotted our first minke whale soon, and it was great to see it surfacing many times only 10 meters away from the boat! What a great start of the tour. In the same area we spotted at least 2 other minke whales, and one was surface feeding just 20 meters away from us, many times! WOW! So great tour this morning!

We Started this tour by going to the Puffin Island Akurey and saw bunch of puffins sitting on the sea in front. We then had to sail for quite a long time, far out, until we spotted the first whale specie which was the White Beaked Dolphins. They swam around us for a while until we spotted a Minke Whale in the distance. We were able to follow this minke whale for some time while it was swimming next to the boat.
