Today the sun was shining and there was not a cloud in sight! We very quickly saw a harbour porpoise that came close to the boat for a few surfaces. Soon after we found a humpback whale and saw it surface a few times, but it was difficult to keep track of as it was doing very long dives. In the end we decided to offer complimentary tickets to all our passengers.

We sailed out on this very calm sea until we spotted a pod of 8-9 white-beaked dolphins. This pod was on the hunt and even had a calf that was probably learning a lot. We continued and soon saw the blow of a humpback whale. The whale was diving and moving a lot but we could still see it's fluke a few time which allowed us to identify it as Canvas!

Tonight we had a calm sea, no moon light nor clouds in the sky, which gave the best stargazing conditions. At the start of the tour the northern lights showed up very faint but faded away quickly. We therefore offered complimentary tickets to all!

This sunny and afternoon we sailed out and soon spotted a big blow, and went to investigate - it was a humpback whale! This whale was extremely active, showing us its pectoral fins as well as tail slapping and making lots of splashes! After a while we saw another blow from another humpback whale that surprised us by coming close to our boat.

With the clearest skies and many shining stars, we set sail and there were already northern lights in the sky! A large green arch right from the very beginning and we could even see a strong red color with it as well. A brilliant tour!

We gazed upon the stars and kept our eyes peeled for anything above our heads. Soon the northern lights started to fade in and we were able to see them very clearly! They were amazingly green, and they kept glowing this radioactive colour in the starry night.

We spotted small splashes on the water, giving out the location of 2 harbour porpoises passing by. As we continued our journey, we saw many big blows and we quickly saw that we had at 5-6 humpback whales in the same area. They were all busy feeding, taking short deep dives, coming to the surface quickly to lunge feed and take a breath!

We had perfect conditions to spot aurora in the sky and we already saw the northern lights as we were going over the safety speech! There they were as green as they can be, in a beautiful arch piercing the clear skies for the whole tour duration!

We first checked around Viðey to see if Flak was there, but we could not find it, but in stead we saw a grey seal! We then sailed further North into the bay to explore an area where another boat had spotted some blows in the distance and that's where we found them - in all, there were about 4 different humpback whales and we got a good look at two of them! 

As we sailed out we could admire all the snow covered mountains surrounding the bay. We saw seabirds including some very cute guillemots and razorbills. A gannet also passed close above our heads at one stage which was nice. We continued our search, but no cetaceans appeared so we gave out complimentary tickets so everyone can come back again.

The forecast was excellent tonight with a Kp 6 and a sky with many clear gaps. Although the Northern Lights were appearing on our pictures, they remained invisible for our eyes, so we gave everyone complimentary tickets!

As we were about to leave the harbour, snow started falling! We saw a big flock of birds and 5 harbour porpoises swimming around and feeding. We ventured further out and eventually we found a very elusive humpback whale. Due to the difficult sighting however, we gave complimentary tickets to all our passengers.

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

The weather was fantastic this afternoon, with no wind and no waves coming out of the harbour. Only 10 minutes into the tour we saw 3 harbour porpoises that quickly swam away from the boat. We continued our journey, scanning the whole bay, but we didn't have any luck so we gave out complimentary tickets!
