Whale Diary
We left the marina with strong winds, but we soon found a humpback whale right next to Viðey island. It was very active, rolling and slapping the water repeatedly. Everybody was very excited to see it! We also encountered several harbour seals, which we all enjoyed. We eventually gave the whale space and returned to port.

It didn't take us long to find a humpback whale today - it was swimming calmly in the shallow water, when it suddenly changed its course towards us. We accompanied it for a while and saw it surface quite often. We got to see its fluke as it dove, and then it started feeding, surfacing powerfully - we also saw glimpses of some grey seals!

The forecast was looking good and we could see some stars from the start. We were hoping the clouds would clear up more, but unfortunately they never did, so we issued complimentary tickets in hopes everyone would try again!

Today was pure magic on the water! After about 30 minutes, we spotted a massive blow from a humpback whale! It was most likely feeding, so we waited eagerly for it to surface again. While we waited, a tiny harbour porpoise popped up and we noticed at least four seals hanging nearby, likely trying to score a snack from the whale!

The weather was warm with a fresh breeze of Icelandic air. We headed out of the harbour and soon found a humpback whale close by, surfacing often. Suddenly, 2 seals popped up, as well as a second humpback whale! As we waited for the first whale to reappear, 4-5 more seals peaked out of the water and were curious about us!

After about 30 minutes sailing from the harbour, we spotted a blow in the distance - it was a humpback whale! It was moving unpredictably, probably feeding, teasing us with its dives! We then spotted another blow, much closer to land. This time, the humpback whale was calmer and much more cooperative - fluking very gracefully!

The forecast was looking great, but we soon realised it wasn't quite accurate. There were large cloud covers across the bay, and while we did manage to see some northern lights on our phones, we decided to issue complimentary tickets.

As we got closer to Viðey island we realised that we had the same humpback whale we saw yesterday - still feeding! While waiting for it to reappear, we also saw around 4 grey seals. One of the seals actually started following the whale and doing synchronised dives for 20 min! By the end of the tour we had also found 3 harbour porpoises feeding!

As soon as we sailed around Viðey island, we spotted a blow from a humpback whale! It was one of the ones we had also seen yesterday, still frantically feeding. It constantly changed directions and sometimes swam fast to different areas, so it definitely kept us on our toes. We also saw around 6 harbour seals hanging out around us.

What an amazing tour! Right from the start we had action with harbour seals swimming curiously around Eldey island. Then, we found humpback whales on the far side of Viðey island! It was difficult to estimate how many they were, as they moved very fast, but in the end we could count 4! They were mostly feeding together and fluking!
