We left the harbour with fantastic weather and the sun was shining. We soon spotted 2 harbour porpoises and soon after, some larger cetaceans! We witnessed 10 humpback whales and 6 minke whales in a feeding frenzy, a brilliant morning! In the afternoon, we had more great weather and soon spotted 2 pods of 3 harbour porpoises as well as 10 humpback whales! Feding and surfacing all around us - with one even breaching & tail slapping. An amazing day at sea.

We set off on our morning tour with calm seas and spotted our first blows soon into the tour. We counted at least 6 humpback whales and spent some time with them, also spotting 2 minke whales in the same area. In the afternoon, we had some light rain at the start and soon spotted 2 pods of 3 harbour porpoises. We eventually came to the same area as the morning and spotted around 7 humpback whales! A fantastic day at sea with guests and crew very happy.

In the morning, we had some strong wind and swell, so decided to cancel our tour for the safety and comfort of our passengers. In the afternoon, the wind has subsided a little, and we headed out to see what we could find. After some sailing, we spotted our first blow! In total, we had around 8 humpback whales feeding all around us, an excellent sighting and what an afternoon at sea!

We had beautiful weather and clear skies as we headed out to sea. There was a little wind, but otherwise great conditions and we spotted 10 harbour porpoises briefly, but they were quite shy. In the end, we offered to our passengers complimentary tickets to try again on another tour! In the afternoon, we had similarly good weather with a little wind, and again spotted 5 harbour porpoises in a brief sighting, but couldn't find anything larger so gave our passengers complimentary tickets to try again!

A sunny morning, with some swell, and we headed out full of hope for the day! We soon found 2 pods of 3-4 harbour porpoises and got a good look at them, before spotting 2 humpback whales and 1 minke whale further out in the bay - a great morning at sea. In the afternoon, we headed out again with some swell, and soon spotted 2 harbour porpoises and a minke whale. Then, we spotted, a humpback whale! It showed it‘s fluke a few times, a  perfect day at sea!

We set out on a morning tour, with typical Icelandic spring weather - a bit of everything! We soon spotted a minke whale who was very active, surfacing many times. Soon after, 4 white-beaked dolphins appeared, surfing with the swell, and on the way back to the harbour, 3 harbour porpoises were also briefly sighted! In the afternoon, we had similar weather as the morning and soon spotted a minke whale again, very active as before. We stayed for a little while as it surfaced, and then briefly spotted a harbour porpoise again. A great day at sea.

With good weather and a little wind, we headed out deep into the bay this morning in search of whales. We soon found 3 humpback whales feeding in the same area, and spent a good amount of time with them. In the afternoon, we headed out again and soon spotted a shy minke whale before continuing our search and finding 4 humpback whales likely feeding with many birds around. A great day in Faxaflói bay!

We sailed out with clear skies and a gentle breeze, and after some searching, spotted 8 white-beaked dolphins! A good encounter with them before we headed back to land. In the afternoon, the weather remained beautiful and we first saw 50 white-beaked dolphins, and we sailed onwards before finding 2 humpback whales! We enjoyed the show before our time was running out, and we headed back to land after a brilliant day at sea!

On our morning tour, we headed out with a wintry mix and calm seas. After some searching, we found a friendly minke whale, coming up regularly and close to the boat - a great morning. In our afternoon tour, we headed out with two boats - Eldey & Hafsúlan - and on both of our boats spotted a minke whale feeding soon at the start of the tour. We then headed out further and spotted 4 harbour porpoises and soon came back to land after a successful day at sea!

We sailed out for our morning tour on a sunny and clear day, a nice break from the wintry weather. We soon spotted 2 minke whales but they were quite shy and elusive and surfaced only a few sporadic times before leaving, so we continued our search for signs of other animals. We ran out of time so gave our guests complimentary tickets to try again on another tour. In the afternoon, the bright sun was still with us and we soon spotted a humpback whale! We saw elegant fluke dives, and then encountered a pod of 4 white-beaked dolphins! A successful end to the day.

On this grey & calm spring morning we set sail, with fulmars keeping us company on the way out. We soon had a brief sighting of a minke whale. It came up a few times but quickly left, so we continued searching. In the end, we didn‘t manage to see anything else so gave our passengers complimentary tickets to try their luck again. In the afternoon, the snow had picked up and we headed out full of hope. We briefly spotted 2-4 shy harbour porpoises but unfortunately nothing bigger, so again gave our passengers complimentary tickets to try again another time!

We started the day with some bad weather conditions, so we made the decision to cancel our morning departure, for the safety of our passengers. Fortunately, the weather improved in the afternoon and we were delighted to set out for our afternoon tour. There was still some swell, and had a mixture of all weathers. Soon, we found 3 Orcas! These three were travelling together moving quickly, a breathtaking experience!

This morning we sailed out on a typical Icelandic day with a mix of all weather conditions. We soon spotted two types of seals - grey seal and harbour seal - but continued searching for larger animals! Unfortunately, we were unlucky so gave our passengers complimentary tickets to try again another day. In the afternoon, the weather had turned for the worse, so we cancelled our tour for the safety of our passengers.

We were delighted to get back out to sea after some bad weather days, and the sun was shining with perfect conditions for searching. On our way out, we spotted fast Harbour Porpoises but they disappeared quite quickly. Many birds were flocking around, but no signs of larger wildlife so we offered complimentary tickets to our passengers. The wind picked up in the afternoon so we made the decision to cancel the 13:00 tour, for the safety of our passengers.
