The weather was far from perfect, but we knew we didn't have to travel far to find wildlife! After about 20 minutes, we spotted our first humpback whale between the islands of Viðey and Lundey. We watched it do several short dives, and then we spotted two more humpback whales nearby, and even got a super close fluke dive!

Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we have decided to CANCEL the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!

Today we headed back to the area between the islands where we've had great success lately. Throughout the tour we saw 5 humpback whales and at one point there were whales in all directions! Most of them were feeding, but some were resting and got very close to our boat - we could even see their whole bodies through the water!

Only 30 minutes into the tour, we saw the beginnings of northern lights! At first they were very faint, but soon turned stronger! Our captain even spotted a humpback whale close by us too as we were headed back home!

We sailed close to Viðey island this afternoon, and not even 15 minutes into the tour, we had found a humpback whale - it was Pongo, an individual last seen in March of this year! We eventually found a harbour seal, as well a second humpback whale in the same area. Then, out of nowhere, Pongo decided to do a single breach for us!

Between Viðey island and the mainland we spotted a total of 3 humpback whales. It was really nice, the whales stayed most of the time in the same area, swimming in circles, feeding. They gave us several flukes, and in the end of the tour, one of them came really close, just a few feet away. Everyone on board were equally ecstatic!

The forecast looked promising for tonight, but unfortunately the auroras didn’t make an appearance. It was a bit of a letdown, but we made sure to offer everyone on board complimentary tickets to come back another night!

Today was a beautiful winter day with blue skies and calm seas. Throughout the tour we saw a total of 5 humpback whales! We first approached the far side of Viðey and found two whales swimming side by side. Then we spotted a third one a bit further away, then a fourth sleeping and finally a fifth one that was actively feeding!

We quickly found 2 humpback whales surrounding the islands of Viðey and Lundey. Staying with each, one at a time, we had the chance to see 2 very different behaviours: feeding and resting. As the sun started to set over the appearing clouds, we started heading back, luckily noticing small pods of harbour porpoises on our way home.

With good weather and little to no clouds, we were hopeful for tonight. We ended up waiting a long time, but in the last hour, a stable clear green arch of northern lights appeared overr the mountains of Esja and Akrafjall!

Our tour started under a white powdered snow storm. After a few minutes of sailing, the head of a grey seal popped up out of nowhere. Then, a humpback whale came up to get some air and this individual seemed to be resting close to the surface, but we got a few good looks at its fluke and determined it was our friend from yesterday!
