    We left the harbour with a bit of snow, and soon spotted a small pod of white-beaked dolphins. After some more sailing, we spotted a few harbour porpoises and then a humpback whale! In the afternoon, we headed out again and soon spotted a big pod of 40 white-beaked dolphins and a humpback whale nearby. An excellent start to the tour, but then we spotted 10 Orcas, a relatively rare sight in the bay. An excellent day at sea!

    We headed out on our morning tour with some wind, but dressed up warm in our overalls to see what we could find. We sailed around the islands with many birds around, and found a grey seal swimming nearby. We covered many areas but unfortunately didn't find any cetaceans so gave our passengers complimentary tickets. In the afternoon, the wind picked up further so we made the decision to cancel the 13:00 tour for the safety and comfort of our passengers.

    We sailed out on a very sunny day, and in about 30 minutes, we spotted a rare visitor to our bay - 2 fin whales - the second largest animal in the world! Another blow nearby turned out to be a humpback whale and also close by was a big pod of white-beaked dolphins! On our afternoon tour, we sailed out again and spotted a humpback whale again, and the same 2 fin whales nearby! We spent some time before carrying on, and found 2 humpback whales and over 200 white-beaked dolphins in a feeding frenzy! An absolutely INCREDIBLE day!

    It was a chilly morning as we set off for our 09:00 tour, and before long, spotted a blow - a humpback whale! We also spotted multiple pods of white-beaked dolphins nearby, around 25 individuals in total! On our afternoon tour, we sailed out again with a little less wind and found a humpback whale again. After a bit more searching, we also found around 30 white-beaked dolphins! A fantastic day at sea.

    We headed out with some wind and swell, and ventured into Hvalfjörður to see what we could find. We soon spotted 10 white-beaked dolphins speeding around and chasing fish, a great sighting! On the way home, we also spotted 5 harbour porpoises closer to Reykjavik. The wind had picked up even more in the afternoon, so we decided to cancel our 13:00 tour for the safety and comfort of our passengers.

    It felt like a summer day today with blue skies as we headed out for a morning tour. We first spotted a minke whale, the second time we have spotted one in 2026. We spent some time admiring this minke before spotting 7 harbour porpoises. In the afternoon, we again headed out and had very brief sightings of a minke whale and 5 harbour porpoises but since the sightings were very short, we gave our guests complimentary tickets to try their luck again.

    We sailed out on our morning tour with the sun shining. We soon spotted a pod of 5 white-beaked dolphins resurfacing frequently under some birds. We soon continued our sail and spotted a humpback whale! A great morning at sea. In the afternoon, the seas had got rough so we decided to cancel our 13:00 tour for the safety and comfort of our passengers.

    The sun was shining and it was a gorgeous morning in the bay. We had a good search on our morning tour, and found many seabirds feeding on fish, but unfortunately no cetaceans and we gave out complimentary tickets. In the afternoon, the weather remained clear and sunny, and found a humpback whale! It was Banana, our favourite well-known regular in the bay! It was great to see him again after a few days.

    What a fantastic day! We left on our morning tour and spotted a humpback whale after about an hour of sailing. We had a great show with several fluke dives. In the afternoon, we headed out again and soon spotted 2 humpback whales! They were very active and one humpback was tail lobbing and the other was pectoral fin slapping! Brilliant!

    A cold and a little windy, but we set sail on our morning tour and started the search for wildlife! We spotted a grey seal but unfortunately no cetaceans so we gave our passengers complimentary tickets. In the afternoon, we had a wintry mix of snow and rain, and headed out again. We had a brief sighting of harbour porpoises and continued to explore, but unfortunately couldn't find anything else and we handed out complimentary tickets again.
