As soon as we sailed out we had Flak the 'resident' humpback whale very close to the shore of Viðey island! We also saw a minke whale that came very close to the boat and kept on swimming towards the land. In the afternoon the humpback whale was still here and we also found 3 very active minke whales and a lone harbour porpoise.

Unfortunately the high clouds were quite thick and the activity very low. We patiently waited in the bay listening to music and drinking hot drinks but no lights appeared. We gave complimentary tickets to our passengers hoping that next time we will be luckier!

The sea was fairly calm this morning and we sailed to Viðey island to try our luck. We spotted Flak the humpback whale as well as another humpback and at least 7 harbour porpoises. In the afternoon Flak was seen feeding close to shore and even breached before we also spotted a minke whale!

We sailed out with a high hopes due to the very good forecast. As we left the harbour it was a fairly clear sky, we could see stars as well as Jupiter. Unfortunately, we ended up with a sky full of thick clouds and the lights didn't appear. So we offered everyone complimentary tickets. Hopefully the lights reappear tomorrow!

This moody morning we sailed out facing a snow covered majestic Esja. We spotted 1 minke whale and Flak the humpback whale! In the afternoon we also found Flak feeding and although it often changed direction, it always showing its beautiful fluke when it went for a dive.

We made our way towards Viðey island today and much to our delight, our friend FLAK the humpback whale showed up at just the right moment and we later also found some harbour porpoises. This happened on both of our tours today - what a magnificent day in beautiful Reykjavík!

A quiet night, without any wind on our faces so we headed out into the darkness in search of the auroras. The sky looked cloudy but with enough gaps to try to see the lights. Unfortunately no activity was reported so we sailed back to the harbour. Complimentary tickets were offered to our passengers for another try.

The sun hadn't even appeared behind Reykjavik before we saw our first animal. It was a humpback whale! It was the same as yesterday very close to Skarfabakki harbour called Flak and later we also found another two! In the afternoon we found Flak again near Engey. It did stupendous fluke dives near our boat and we got to enjoy an amazing view of the city.

Tonight the sky was absolutely beautiful with no moon and so many stars. The milky way was even visible above our heads. The northern lights could be seen the whole evening, a beautiful arch was in the north west. This arch was sometimes single, double or triple! Simply amazing.

The forecast looked very promising and we had a beautiful dark sky. Even before leaving the harbour we saw northern lights, they were quite strong but then calmed down again before we left. As we sailed out, the lights started growing stronger and there were were moments they were dancing above us and there were even moments of pink!

With an amazing sunrise we went on to try to spot some wildlife. Not too long into our mission, we found a humpback whale that did a deep dive. In the afternoon we found a humpback whale that we identified as Flak (an individual that spent the winter with us last year). A while later we found a minke whale and another two humpback whales!

As soon as we left the harbour we could see northern lights! We could see the green really nicely in the sky towards the north by Ursa Major. The green would fade a bit but on our cameras throughout the whole night we could see so much green. A few more times during the night the green would come back and be visible for us to see.

The sun was just starting to rise as we sailed out this morning. We saw jumping white-beaked dolphins and two humpback whales, one that was quite a shy and the other that we got a good look at. In the afternoon one of our passengers spotted a sneaky minke whale and then we also found a humpback whale!

Our hopes were very high and the playlist was good enough to dance a bit to keep ourselves warm, but the clouds were in the way most of the time during the tour. Unfortunately we didn't see any northern lights tonight, so we offered complimentary tickets to our passengers!

Despite the challenging weather conditions this morning, we saw a pod of 5 white-beaked dolphins soon after leaving the harbour, then a minke whale and a lunge feeding humpback whale that surfaced close a few times! In the afternoon we saw two feeding humpback whales, although it appeared they were not travelling together, one which surfaced close to us.
