In the morning, we sailed out with a bit of snow but the sun came out soon after. We sailed around the bay looking for wildlife, but unfortunately didn't find anything and we gave out complimentary tickets. In the afternoon, we had a similar mix of sun and snowy conditions, and after a good search, we found a humpback whale! It was Banana, one of our regulars. We also spotted 4-5 grey seals who were very inquisitive. A great way to end the day.

The sky was mostly clear as we headed out, first for a nice cruise around the islands to see if we can spot any aurora. The stars were shining, and with our cameras, we could spot a faint glow, but nothing with the naked eye. So we offered complimentary tickets to our guests for the chance to try again.

We left the harbour with a wintry mix on our morning tour, but the skies soon cleared and before long we found a humpback whale. We had very calm seas and we could even hear their breath. In our afternoon tour, the sun shined bright, and again found a humpback whale not far from land! It was banana, one of our favourite regulars to see! A great day in Faxaflói bay!

With a brisk breeze, we set out on our morning tour to see what we could find in the bay. We spent some time around the islands, admiring all the winter birdlife, before heading further out in the bay to search for cetaceans. Unfortunately, we were not lucky this time, and we handed out complimentary tickets to our passengers. In the afternoon, the increasing wind meant we cancelled our tour for the safety and comfort of our passengers.

Another cold morning at sea, and we headed out in search of wildlife. Close to the island of Viðey, we spotted a humpback whale feeding. In the afternoon, the wind had picked up a bit but we had blue skies and were excited to see what was in store for us. We first spotted a grey seal close to Lundey, before seeing our resident friend Banana, a humpback whale. We could even see their whole body through the clear water, a brilliant afternoon at sea.

Another calm and clear night, with a kp index forecast of 3/9. We headed out towards Esja, to find some shelter from the wind, and warmed up with hot chocolate as we waited for the northern lights. We had a very brief glimpse of them before they stopped again, and we decided to give our passengers complimentary tickets to try again for a better showing!

Clear skies in the bay as we left the harbour, ready for an evening at sea. On our way out, we even spotted a humpback whale at sea, as we were waiting to see if the northern lights would show up! Unfortunately, they decided not to appear tonight, and we gave our passengers complimentary tickets so everyone can try their luck again.

With calm seas and another beautiful sunrise, we departed the harbour for our morning tour. Around 30 minutes in to the tour, we spotted our first humpback whale of the tour! Of course, it was Banana, our regular humpback! In the afternoon, we had clear blue skies and a cold northerly wind, and headed out again to find our favourite humpback whale again, sleeping at the surface. Another brilliant day in Faxaflói bay!

Today we went out expecting some gaps in the sky, and a Kp Index of 3/9. The tour started off with more cloud than expected, and some snow, then the clouds started to clear! We had the northern lights! It started with a big arc in the sky, and shortly after, a second arc followed. A beautiful evening at sea.
