Search

We first checked around Viðey to see if Flak was there, but we could not find it, but in stead we saw a grey seal! We then sailed further North into the bay to explore an area where another boat had spotted some blows in the distance and that's where we found them - in all, there were about 4 different humpback whales and we got a good look at two of them! 

As we sailed out we could admire all the snow covered mountains surrounding the bay. We saw seabirds including some very cute guillemots and razorbills. A gannet also passed close above our heads at one stage which was nice. We continued our search, but no cetaceans appeared so we gave out complimentary tickets so everyone can come back again.

The forecast was excellent tonight with a Kp 6 and a sky with many clear gaps. Although the Northern Lights were appearing on our pictures, they remained invisible for our eyes, so we gave everyone complimentary tickets!

As we were about to leave the harbour, snow started falling! We saw a big flock of birds and 5 harbour porpoises swimming around and feeding. We ventured further out and eventually we found a very elusive humpback whale. Due to the difficult sighting however, we gave complimentary tickets to all our passengers.

Due to unfavorable weather conditions, we have decided to CANCEL the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!

The weather was fantastic this afternoon, with no wind and no waves coming out of the harbour. Only 10 minutes into the tour we saw 3 harbour porpoises that quickly swam away from the boat. We continued our journey, scanning the whole bay, but we didn't have any luck so we gave out complimentary tickets!

On this cold crips evening we sailed out under a beautifully starry sky. We sailed towards the North keeping our spirits warm with hot chocolate and some classic rock. Sadly we were not lucky, so we handed out complimentary tickets.

After about 15 minutes of sailing our cameras started to show a dash of northern lights! At first they were shy, but as time elapsed, they got so bright we could see the boat becoming green and our eyes shining like emeralds! Amazing night!

Today was our first day with only one tour per day. This, combined with the cold winds on our faces, told us that winter is officially here! We started our journey by covering first the area next to Esja mountain, however, we didn't end up seeing any signs of cetaceans today, so we decided to give out complimentary tickets to all our passengers!

Despite the positive forecast we sailed out into a very snowy bay. We started to see gaps appearing between the clouds which let through a really good view of the stars, but not the auroras. We therefore offered our passengers complimentary tickets.

On this final morning tour of the year we came across many seabirds but unfortunately the whales remained elusive. The sun continued to strongly shine on our faces as we saw a fast harbour porpoise passing by in the afternoon. We covered many areas, however we didn't encounter anything worthwhile today so we decided to give out complimentary tickets!

The swell was still present this morning but the sunrise was gorgeous. We only saw a pod of 4 harbour porpoises during the way back and in the afternoon we found a humpback whale, but it came up only once. In the end we handed out complimentary tickets on both tours due to the difficult encounters, in hopes to see all our passengers another time.

We sailed out this evening eager to see what was in store for us. We had a very nice view of all the stars which was great news. Sadly however, we did not see any lights so in the end handed out complimentary tickets tickets to all our passengers.

We sailed out this morning facing cold winds and headed straight into the bay. We spotted a few white-beaked dolphins and a minke whale as well, but decided to hand out complimentary tickets as both encounters were quite short lived. In the afternoon we did not need to go very far to spot a large blow of a humpback whale and managed to watch it dive a few times.
