- NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
After about 15 minutes of sailing our cameras started to show a dash of northern lights! At first they were shy, but as time elapsed, they got so bright we could see the boat becoming green and our eyes shining like emeralds! Amazing night!
Today was our first day with only one tour per day. This, combined with the cold winds on our faces, told us that winter is officially here! We started our journey by covering first the area next to Esja mountain, however, we didn't end up seeing any signs of cetaceans today, so we decided to give out complimentary tickets to all our passengers!

Despite the positive forecast we sailed out into a very snowy bay. We started to see gaps appearing between the clouds which let through a really good view of the stars, but not the auroras. We therefore offered our passengers complimentary tickets.
On this final morning tour of the year we came across many seabirds but unfortunately the whales remained elusive. The sun continued to strongly shine on our faces as we saw a fast harbour porpoise passing by in the afternoon. We covered many areas, however we didn't encounter anything worthwhile today so we decided to give out complimentary tickets!
The swell was still present this morning but the sunrise was gorgeous. We only saw a pod of 4 harbour porpoises during the way back and in the afternoon we found a humpback whale, but it came up only once. In the end we handed out complimentary tickets on both tours due to the difficult encounters, in hopes to see all our passengers another time.

We sailed out this evening eager to see what was in store for us. We had a very nice view of all the stars which was great news. Sadly however, we did not see any lights so in the end handed out complimentary tickets tickets to all our passengers.
We sailed out this morning facing cold winds and headed straight into the bay. We spotted a few white-beaked dolphins and a minke whale as well, but decided to hand out complimentary tickets as both encounters were quite short lived. In the afternoon we did not need to go very far to spot a large blow of a humpback whale and managed to watch it dive a few times.

We sailed out this evening but soon realised the sky was a big sheet of clouds. Unfortunately sometimes the the weather does what it wants and tonight was one of those evenings, so we handed out complimentary tickets in the end.

Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we have decided to CANCEL the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!
Following a few splashes in the distance we located a big pod of 10-12 white-beaked dolphins this morning and additionally found a shy humpback whale that never showed its fluke. In the afternoon, we found a couple of pods of white-beaked dolphins and at one point there were at least 15-20 individuals all around the boat!

The sea was smooth, although we had a bit of wind and some clouds in the sky. We spotted the first northern lights, very slightly from our cameras. We waited to see if they could get stronger, but they soon faded away, prompting us to hand out complimentary tickets!
After a while of sailing, we saw lots of birds and a minke whale came up quite close. We then found a humpback whale that was deep diving and a pod of 3-4 white-beaked dolphins. In the afternoon we found 3 harbour porpoises and 6 white-beaked dolphins but we offered complimentary tickets so our passengers can try their luck again another time!

We sailed out and were met with thick clouds that unfortunately stayed with us the whole time. Sadly, we were not able to see any Aurora Borealis tonight, so we passed by the Imagine Peace Tower before handing out complimentary tickets to give everyone a second chance!
The sunrise created pink and orange clouds as we sailed out this morning. We arrived in an area with a lot of birds and soon spotted a pod of 3 white-beaked dolphins, then a feeding humpback whale and a minke whale. In the afternoon we saw 3 harbour porpoises and a small humpback whale, but was tricky to follow so we gave out complimentary tickets.
We explored areas further into the bay this morning and found a pod of 6-8 feeding white-beaked dolphins. In the afternoon, we spotted 6 seals (one of which jumped completely out of the water!), and after a while searching we spotted a blow and the dorsal fin of a humpback whale, but ultimately decided to offer complimentary tickets due to the quick encounter.
