This morning we sailed into a stormy sea. The great visibility allowed us to search a vast areas of the bay and we were accompanied by many different seabirds along the way. Despite our best efforts, we saw no signs of cetaceans, so we issued complimentary tickets to all passengers. The afternoon tour ended up being cancelled due to unfavourable conditions.

This evening, we had a really promising forecast. As we sailed out of the harbour, we could already see a lot of stars above our heads and soon enough, we saw very faint northern lights above Esja, that only got stronger throughout the night!

We set sail this morning under the bright sunshine and the view was absolutely breathtaking. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, no cetaceans were seen, so we issued complimentary tickets to all passengers. In the afternoon we encountered a pod of 8 white-beaked dolphins feeding. They came super close to us, sometimes surfing with the waves!

It was like a perfect summer day this morning, with barely any wind. We made our way to Hafnarfjörður, where we spotted a minke whale! Closer to Reykjavík, we found a pod of about 20 white-beaked dolphins! In the afternoon we saw two pods of white-beaked dolphins consisting of 5 and 30 individuals. They were extremely active and jumping around a lot!

It was a partially cloudy, but there was barely any wind. We could see the northern lights starting to appear, but decided to offer all passengers complimentary tickets since they never grew strong enough to view without the help of our cameras.

Toward the end of the morning tour, we caught a glimpse of a minke whale, but it was super quick and the passengers didn't really get a chance to see it, so we issued complimentary tickets tickets in the end. In the afternoon we found ourselves a minke whale! It was seemingly unbothered by our presence, as it surfaced multiple times very close to our boat!

After a few cloudy days we finally had the change to sail out. There were gaps in the clouds so we could see the stars clearly and we started seeing a faint green just above Esjan mountain. Ultimately we decided to issue complimentary tickets.

The morning tour started with calm seas and almost no wind. Out of nowhere, dorsal fins emerged - it was 6-7 white-beaked dolphins! The afternoon tour saw a pod of 3-4 harbour porpoises, a feeding minke whale appeared! After a bit more of travelling during the bay we spotted the first 2 atlantic puffins of the year and about 12 feeding white-beaked dolphins.

In the morning we sailed into a cloudy bay. Unfortunately no cetaceans were found, so we issued complimentary tickets to all our passengers. In the afternoon, we had searched for quite a while before we encountered a pod of 6 white-beaked dolphins! They were swimming in circles most of the time, and we got great looks at them though close to the boat.
