• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

This evening, we bundled up, grabbed a hot chocolate and headed out. Right away the northern lights started to appear! They even started dancing, shimmering as they moved back and forth in the sky above. What a perfect way to start 2026!

2026 started out with a great tour. Just a few minutes outside of the harbour we spotted 2 humpback whales. We spent some time with them as they showed nice fluke dives close to our boat - one even decided to breach. We then went out onto the calm bay and found 2 grey seals and a small pod of 3 harbour porpoises before heading back home to the harbour.

Today we saw wildlife as soon as we passed the harbour walls - it was our good friend Banana the humpback whale. When more boats arrived, we left it in peace in order to minimise stress. We sailed to Viðey island where we came across another humpback whale that was busy feeding. After spending a while with it, we decided to leave it in peace and return home.

We sailed out with gaps in the clouds and stars and Jupiter visible. We made our way around Viðey to get into more favourable waters, but unfortunately the auroras never showed up. So we of course issued complimentary tickets to all passengers.

We wet out with some wind and clouds covering the sun and were lucky to spot a harbour seal and a grey seal hunting. We searched all over the bay and finally spotted the blow of a humpback whale close to the entrance to the harbour, and as we got closer, we could see that it was travelling quite fast in search of food, rolling on its back and even slapping its tail.

We sailed out in good spirits with a promising forecast. We could see Jupiter shining and got to enjoy the illuminated Imagine Peace Tower. Unfortunately no auroras appeared, so we issued complimentary tickets, but not before encountering a humpback whale!

Today was a very misty day in the bay and we only had visibility of around 150 metres. After passing by many seabirds, we spotted 2 harbour porpoises and soon after we found a lone humpback whale (identified as Banana), sleeping and logging on the surface - and we could clearly see details of its body and rostrum. We even spotted a harbour seal nearby.

Due to unfavorable weather conditions, we have decided to cancel the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!

Today was a wet and grey day at sea, as we sailed out on two boats. We split up to search a wider area and Eldey had quick glimpses of 3 pods of 3 harbour porpoises each. We then got word that our resident humpback whales were in the area and we headed there immediately to enjoy Banana and Radar for a bit before it was time to head back home.

It was a rather cold day but mostly still on the water, so it was easy enough to stay outside throughout the tour. We eventually we came across 2 humpback whales which happened to be our resident friends, Banana and Radar. They were always surfacing together, within meters of each other. After multiple close surfaces, we spotted 4-5 harbor porpoises.

We sailed out with a favourable aurora forecast and many gaps in the sky - we could even see Orion's belt and Jupiter! Unfortunately however, the northern lights didn't come out tonight, so we gave our guests complimentary tickets, for another try.

We had quite a bit of wind and swell today which gave our passengers the true Icelandic experience! After a while, we spotted a pod of around 4-5 harbour porpoises! Soon after, we saw what we came for - a pair of humpback whales that surfaced next to us many times! In between surface sequences, we also spotted a harbour seal near the whales.

On this unusually warm Christmas Day, we sailed out of the harbour with some rain and soon found our favourite pair of humpback whales; Banana and Radar. They kept us on our toes as they followed the fish in all directions and while we were watching them, a grey seal popped its head up right next to our boat. We then also found a third humpback whale!
