Wow! What a night! We headed out to sea and also immediately spotted a faint glow in the sky. It was the northern lights! We watched as the amazing arches formed across the sky, and it filled our hearts! A beautiful evening.

We sailed out on our morning tour with the sun shining. We soon spotted a pod of 5 white-beaked dolphins resurfacing frequently under some birds. We soon continued our sail and spotted a humpback whale! A great morning at sea. In the afternoon, the seas had got rough so we decided to cancel our 13:00 tour for the safety and comfort of our passengers.

The sun was shining and it was a gorgeous morning in the bay. We had a good search on our morning tour, and found many seabirds feeding on fish, but unfortunately no cetaceans and we gave out complimentary tickets. In the afternoon, the weather remained clear and sunny, and found a humpback whale! It was Banana, our favourite well-known regular in the bay! It was great to see him again after a few days.

We sailed out on a beautiful clear night, and could already see a faint green line in the sky. After some time, the arc turned into a second one, visible to the eyes - it was the northern lights! As we headed back, it turned into three arches and a brilliant strong corona line above us - a magical night!

What a fantastic day! We left on our morning tour and spotted a humpback whale after about an hour of sailing. We had a great show with several fluke dives. In the afternoon, we headed out again and soon spotted 2 humpback whales! They were very active and one humpback was tail lobbing and the other was pectoral fin slapping! Brilliant!

The night started quite cloudy, but we sailed into the bay full of hope. The skies then cleared, and lo and behold, the northern lights! It was dancing across the sky, and became quite strong. What a night!

A cold and a little windy, but we set sail on our morning tour and started the search for wildlife! We spotted a grey seal but unfortunately no cetaceans so we gave our passengers complimentary tickets. In the afternoon, we had a wintry mix of snow and rain, and headed out again. We had a brief sighting of harbour porpoises and continued to explore, but unfortunately couldn't find anything else and we handed out complimentary tickets again.

On our morning tour, we headed out with some snow and a beautiful winter‘s morning. After some sailing, we spotted a humpback whale - it was Banana, one of our regulars! In the afternoon, we had every weather in a few hours with intermittent snow and blue skies. We searched further out and then near the islands, but unfortunately we didn‘t find anything so gave out complimentary tickets.

After a quick snow storm, we sailed out of the harbour with plenty of gaps in the cloud and some stars shining through. Soon enough, we spotted a faint green cloud and it was the northern lights! Throughout the cruise, the arch moved over the sky coming in and out of view. A fantastic evening in Faxaflói Bay.

We headed out on our cruise on a windy night with some gaps between the clouds. We could already see the northern lights between these gaps, and headed around the islands, waiting patiently for more gaps. Throughout the tour, we saw these green curtains of light between the clouds - a beautiful evening at sea.
