Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we have decided to CANCEL the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!
Whale Diary
Following a few splashes in the distance we located a big pod of 10-12 white-beaked dolphins this morning and additionally found a shy humpback whale that never showed its fluke. In the afternoon, we found a couple of pods of white-beaked dolphins and at one point there were at least 15-20 individuals all around the boat!

The sea was smooth, although we had a bit of wind and some clouds in the sky. We spotted the first northern lights, very slightly from our cameras. We waited to see if they could get stronger, but they soon faded away, prompting us to hand out complimentary tickets!

After a while of sailing, we saw lots of birds and a minke whale came up quite close. We then found a humpback whale that was deep diving and a pod of 3-4 white-beaked dolphins. In the afternoon we found 3 harbour porpoises and 6 white-beaked dolphins but we offered complimentary tickets so our passengers can try their luck again another time!

We sailed out and were met with thick clouds that unfortunately stayed with us the whole time. Sadly, we were not able to see any Aurora Borealis tonight, so we passed by the Imagine Peace Tower before handing out complimentary tickets to give everyone a second chance!

The sunrise created pink and orange clouds as we sailed out this morning. We arrived in an area with a lot of birds and soon spotted a pod of 3 white-beaked dolphins, then a feeding humpback whale and a minke whale. In the afternoon we saw 3 harbour porpoises and a small humpback whale, but was tricky to follow so we gave out complimentary tickets.

We explored areas further into the bay this morning and found a pod of 6-8 feeding white-beaked dolphins. In the afternoon, we spotted 6 seals (one of which jumped completely out of the water!), and after a while searching we spotted a blow and the dorsal fin of a humpback whale, but ultimately decided to offer complimentary tickets due to the quick encounter.

There was a bit of wind and some swell leftover from the stormy days before but the sun was shining beautifully. We spotted a grey seal and a solo harbour porpoise in the morning, however we did not have any luck for the rest of the day and therefore we offered all our passengers today complimentary tickets, for a second chance of seeing the wildlife in our bay.

We could see a few stars in the sky in between the clouds. We waited for the lights to come out as we enjoyed warm drinks in the cold wind. Unfortunately, we were not lucky, so we decided to give out complimentary tickets to all passengers!

Iceland is still safe for visitors
The Elding team would like to reassure its guests that travel to Iceland remains open and safe for visitors, despite seismic activity described in news reports, which are highly localised to the town of Grindavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The rest of Iceland remains unaffected.

We saw a black object and we couldn't decipher what it was until we got closer, it turned out to be a small zodiac with 4 surfers trying to catch some waves - a very odd find! The course was then set to investigate further and eventually we found our resident humpback whale Flak! The afternoon tour was unfortunately cancelled due to weather.
