The morning started cold, with a bit of sunshine. We soon found a lone minke whale near the harbour and then 2 humpback whales between the islands - one of them even breached twice! In the afternoon we again found the 2 humpback whales. We could even see their white pectoral fins under the surface. On the way back we spotted two harbour porpoises.

We started the tour off with strong northern lights overhead! The snow beautifully reflected enough light for us to be able to enjoy the mountainy landscape, together with the city lights and the Imagine Peace Tower until we headed back home.

Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we have decided to cancel the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!

Everything was covered in snow as we left the harbour this morning. We found a minke whale and managed to see it surface a few times. In the afternoon the weather was still a challenge with thick snowfall, so the visibility was quite low and no wildlife was seen during the tour. Despite our best efforts, both tours offered complimentary tickets for another try.

This morning was a cold and slightly snowy start, making the scenery even more picturesque with rainbows! As soon as we left the harbour, we spotted the 2 humpback whales that have been around the islands for the last week. We also saw a curious harbour seal! In the afternoon we again found the humpback whales since the morning and spent a good while with them.

With many layers and hot chocolate in hand, we sailed out to enjoy the city lights before heading to admire the Imagine Peace Tower. With the clear skies, we saw a faint band of northern lights forming above mt. Esja that just kept getting brighter!

We went around the islands again and soon found a pair of humpback whales between the islands before catching a glimpse of a speedy minke whale and another one by Viðey island. In the afternoon we saw a minke whale and the 2 humpback whales again swimming side by side! One of them began tail throwing and tail slapping repeatedly, leaving us in awe!

It was a cold October morning as we headed to the islands where we had seen wildlife yesterday. We soon found a very cute little harbour seal who briefly checked us out before we found the same pair of humpback whales from the day before. In the afternoon, we again found the pair of humpback whales from this morning that were logging and fluke diving.

We didn't have to travel far at all this morning, as we spotted 2-3 minke whales right outside the harbour walls, a pod of 3-4 harbour porpoises nearby and 2 humpback whales near Viðey island! In the afternoon we found the 2 humpback whales and the 2 minke whales from the morning tour! All in all, a great day spotting wildlife so very near the city!

We started off by passing by the coastline of Reykjavík and viewed the Imagine Peace Tower while we waited for the lights to come out! Soon enough, there were very faint northern lights on the top of Esja that only got stronger and stronger!

Tonight we had completely clear skies and as soon as we left the city lights behind us, we saw our first northern lights! They were shining bright and stretched out over the sea. As we were gazing at the auroras, we also saw a few meteors shooting by!
