Under calm seas and sunshine, we enjoyed fantastic close sightings of harbour porpoises, minke whales and humpback whales right outside the harbour. The whales spent much of the day calmly surfacing near shore, with a few impressive fluke dives and the city skyline in the background - a beautiful reminder of Reykjavík’s rich marine life!
Today we experienced calm seas and fantastic sightings right by Reykjavík’s coastline. Both tours enjoyed close encounters with multiple minke whales and a pair of humpback whales that spent much of the day feeding and cruising near the harbour. The fog and drizzle couldn’t dim the excitement - a truly special day with whales against the city backdrop!

Right when we left the dock, we started to see northern lights between the clouds. Half way through the tour, we had to head back and change boats, but when we got back out there we were rewarded with spectacular auroras in very vibrant colours.

With a forecasted Kp index of 4/9, our hopes were very high. We saw the beautiful Imagine Peace Tower, Harpa Concert Hall and Hallgrímskirkja church, but unfortunately the auroras were a no-show, so we of course issued complimentary tickets.
The wildlife was a bit elusive this morning so we issued complimentary tickets to our passengers. In the afternoon we encountered harbour porpoises, minke whales and several humpback whales, including the well-known Davy Jones II. The afternoon brought close encounters as the whales fed together, a perfect day at sea in Faxaflói bay!

Tonight we enjoyed the beautiful city lights and the Imagine Peace Tower before we headed further out. Unfortunately the clouds didn't allow us good views, so we decided to issue complimentary tickets to all our passengers, for a second try.
With strong winds and noticeable swell, we searched the waters around the islands and into the scenic Hvalfjörður. Although the views were beautiful, no whales were sighted today, and all our guests were issued complimentary tickets to return for another chance to meet the wildlife of Faxaflói. The last tour of the day was cancelled due to weather.
