Northern Lights Diary
After about an hour of waiting we only had the Imagine Peace Tower as a light to took at. But then the northern lights started to come through. They were quite weak to begin with but then started to shine really bright between the clouds!

Whale Diary
Today’s whale watching adventure saw a humpback whale near Lundey island. We hung out with it while it was feeding, and though it took a while to fluke, the excitement on board was contagious once it did! Mount Esja looked stunning, all snowy and picturesque, and to top it off, we had Christmas tunes playing throughout the tour!

Whale Diary
It was quite a windy day today. After sailing past Viðey island, we spotted a blow from our first of 3 humpback whales! We also saw 2 grey seals in this area too. The other pair of whales we saw would surface very regularly, meaning we always got a great look at them as they dove. We all made sure to warm up inside on our way home!

Tonight was a rollercoaster of anticipation and surprises! As the night unfolded, the aurora was a bit shy, so we issued complimentary tickets for a future trip. Then, a pair of humpback whales were seen feeding together in the night!

Whale Diary
We were lucky once again, to quickly see a blow and splash so close to land. We had found ourselves a humpback whale that was constantly chasing fish around and lunge feeding! We then saw another 2 humpback whales, chilling next to Viðey island. Soon they all did fluke dives and our time with the whales came to an end!

Entangled Humpback Whale Rescued in Faxaflói Bay
Over the past couple of days, our tours from Reykjavík have brought a mix of emotions as we witnessed an entangled humpback whale in the bay. We notified local authorities and returned the following day to see the Coastguard already on the case. Less than 24 hrs. since our first encounter with the whale, it was reported that it had been freed from the ropes!

The sky was clear, and we could even spot Mars and Jupiter shining bright. While we didn't see any auroras tonight, we did find a couple of humpback whales! In the end we of course issued complimentary tickets for a future tour.

Whale Diary
It was a calm, sunny day in Reykjavík. We sailed around Viðey island and soon fund 2 feeding humpback whales! The crew determined that one of them was the entangled whale from a couple of days ago, now swimming freely! We also saw a curious harbour seal popping out of the water and about 3-4 more close to shore.

We quickly spotted two humpback whales travelling together. Then we found the entangled humpback whale from last night's Northern Lights Cruise. As we saw a fourth humpback whale, the Coastguard rolled in to rescue the whale from its ropes! We then sailed back home in a mini snowstorm under delightful Christmas music.
