It was the first whale watching tour of December, and although the weather was chilly, the sky was clear and blue. After 30 minutes, we spotted 2 humpback whales that were surfacing regularly and fluking a lot. We also saw a pod of 2-4 shy harbour porpoises and one more humpback whale as we started to make our way back home.
On the last morning tour of the year, we sailed out into darkness, with little wind. After about 30 minutes we spotted a humpback whale very close to our boat! In the afternoon we quickly found our friendly feeding humpback whale once more! We also spotted 2 harbour seals before coming back to the whale on our way home.

Shortly after we left port, the skies cleared out and we got very hopeful. However, the auroras did not show themselves tonight, so after a bit of sightseeing, we sailed back home and issued complimentary tickets for another time.
This cold winter morning, we had calm seas and were ready to spot some wildlife! We quickly found 2 humpback whales swimming side-by-side, close to our boat!

We sailed out under a clear, starry sky when faint northern lights appeared above us and stayed with us all night long. In the end we decided to issue complimentary tickets so everyone could have a chance to see them in all their glory.
The morning tour was cancelled due to weather, but we sailed in the afternoon, and what a time we had! We hit the water with the wind in our hair and the sun shining bright. After about 20 minutes, we spotted two humpback whales, fluking like crazy! We also got a surprise visit from a couple of harbour seals popping up beside us!
Today’s tours featured a delightful juvenile humpback whale. In the morning, we spotted it outside the islands, thrilling everyone with a fluke dive. In the afternoon, braving the rain and swell, we returned to find the same juvenile and spent plenty of time at the surface and even came close to the boat, giving us an unforgettable close-up.

This morning, we spotted a shy humpback whale near Viðey island, diving long and far until it surprised us by surfacing close to the boat, showing off its white pectoral fins and fluke. In the afternoon, we returned to the same spot and found the same humpback whale, now logging. We also caught a quick glimpse of a curious harbour seal!

The forecast was good and the skies were clear. We did not have to wait long - as we were approaching Esja, the northern lights already showed themselves. At first they were faint but they grew stronger as the tour progressed.
In the morning, we saw the erupting volcano near the Blue Lagoon, but despite searching near Hafnarfjörður and beyond, the whales proved elusive, so we issued complimentary tickets. The afternoon brought better luck as we spotted a juvenile humpback whale. After teasing us with shallow dives, it finally fluked beautifully into the sunset.

The northern lights made us wait for about an hour, but when they showed up against the background of Esja mountain, they were shooting up towards the sky in a beautiful display of green light, and sometimes we could see shades of pink.
