We had amazing visibility today and could see all the way across the bay to Snæfellsjökull glacier. After sailing past Lundey island, we saw a large group of birds and the back of a whale! It was the same humpback whale that we've been seeing for the last few days, but this time it was resting. We also saw around 9 harbour seals throughout the tour.

It was raining today, but we sailed into the bay with high spirits. After looking around the nearby islands, we soon found a humpback whale that came up for a breath just behind our boat. It was quite active in surfacing, so we had many opportunities to see its white fluke. We also saw a grey seal and harbour seal bottling in the sea!

The wind was fierce as we sailed out, but within minutes, the first shimmer appeared - faint, but undeniable. We could see Mars and Jupiter in the clear sky, and then the northern lights began to swirl above our heads!

We braved the wind today and headed out to the islands nearby where we found a humpback whale feeding. We were surprised by it surfacing directly in front of our boat and as we were waiting for it to surface again, our captain saw that the fish finder was showing a huge amount of fish underneath us - a real feast for this whale!

With a positive forecast, we left the harbour and could see a faint green glow of the northern lights through clouds. We also saw some faint streaks, but they never really got bright so we of course issued complimentary tickets!

The sun was shining bright, there was no swell, and barely any wind. It didn’t take long for us to find a very active, feeding humpback whale. It was so fascinating to watch as it dove deep, bringing up school of fish to the surface with it. Surrounding the whale were a few curious seals, as well as some birds, all trying to grab a snack.

Solar Eclipse by RIB
Step aboard our small group RIB for a thrilling and exclusive journey into Faxaflói bay, perfectly positioned along the path of totality for the solar eclipse on August 12, 2026. This is the ultimate way to experience this rare celestial phenomenon, surrounded by the serenity of Iceland’s open waters.

The sun was out as we headed to Lundey island in search for wildlife this afternoon. Once again, we found the same humpback whale as yesterday, surfacing very often and showing off its fluke, and even coming really close to our boat a few times. We also encountered 3-4 harbour seals during the tour, which was very exciting.

We were finally able to sail out tonight and we were still in the harbour when we started to see northern lights across the sky! It stayed with us the whole tour and transformed into a wide band on one side and 3 arches on the other.

We set off into the wind in search of cetaceans. We travelled to the far side of Lundey island and we didn't have to wait long before we had found a feeding humpback whale. It was coming up very regularly and we never had to wait more than 1-2 minutes. We also got to see many fluke dives before we headed back home.

We left the marina with strong winds, but we soon found a humpback whale right next to Viðey island. It was very active, rolling and slapping the water repeatedly. Everybody was very excited to see it! We also encountered several harbour seals, which we all enjoyed. We eventually gave the whale space and returned to port.
