• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We sailed out in good spirits with a promising forecast. We could see Jupiter shining and got to enjoy the illuminated Imagine Peace Tower. Unfortunately no auroras appeared, so we issued complimentary tickets, but not before encountering a humpback whale!

Today was a very misty day in the bay and we only had visibility of around 150 metres. After passing by many seabirds, we spotted 2 harbour porpoises and soon after we found a lone humpback whale (identified as Banana), sleeping and logging on the surface - and we could clearly see details of its body and rostrum. We even spotted a harbour seal nearby.

Today was a wet and grey day at sea, as we sailed out on two boats. We split up to search a wider area and Eldey had quick glimpses of 3 pods of 3 harbour porpoises each. We then got word that our resident humpback whales were in the area and we headed there immediately to enjoy Banana and Radar for a bit before it was time to head back home.

It was a rather cold day but mostly still on the water, so it was easy enough to stay outside throughout the tour. We eventually we came across 2 humpback whales which happened to be our resident friends, Banana and Radar. They were always surfacing together, within meters of each other. After multiple close surfaces, we spotted 4-5 harbor porpoises.

We sailed out with a favourable aurora forecast and many gaps in the sky - we could even see Orion's belt and Jupiter! Unfortunately however, the northern lights didn't come out tonight, so we gave our guests complimentary tickets, for another try.

We had quite a bit of wind and swell today which gave our passengers the true Icelandic experience! After a while, we spotted a pod of around 4-5 harbour porpoises! Soon after, we saw what we came for - a pair of humpback whales that surfaced next to us many times! In between surface sequences, we also spotted a harbour seal near the whales.

On this unusually warm Christmas Day, we sailed out of the harbour with some rain and soon found our favourite pair of humpback whales; Banana and Radar. They kept us on our toes as they followed the fish in all directions and while we were watching them, a grey seal popped its head up right next to our boat. We then also found a third humpback whale!

Merry Christmas! With a bit of a drizzle and consistent wind, we layered up and headed out into the bay. We soon got word that 2 humpback whales were in the area, so we headed over! It was the same pair that have been hanging around the islands for the last month or two. We were able to watch them for a while and they treated us to many close fluke dives!

We went out into the bay in strong winds and quite some rain. We came across a grey seal and a harbor seal the were chasing fish in the bay, and plenty of seabirds joined their feast. There were even some harbor porpoises and around 3 white-beaked dolphins further out. Sadly, no other cetacean were seen, so we issued complimentary tickets to all our guests.
