    We sailed out under overcast skies and crisp air. A little minke whale appeared close to us, and we could observe it calmly swimming in a circle just at our front. We also came across a pod of 6 white-beaked dolphins, puffins, arctic terns and even another minke whale on our way home! In the afternoon we again came across minke whales and 5 white-beaked dolphins.

    This morning we had a bit of swell, but nevertheless the spotting conditions were great. We first spotted 3 minke whales, then 3 more! Right thereafter, we found a humpback whale as well as 2 pods of harbour porpoises. It was calmer in the afternoon and we saw a pod of 10-15 white-beaked dolphins playing and jumping. We also found a minke whale and a humpback whale!

    Despite seeing a rainbow on the horizon this morning, there was no pot of gold, nor wildlife at the end of it, so we issued complimentary tickets to our patient passengers. All tours for the rest of the day were cancelled due to increasing winds.

    The bay was gloomy this morning, but the sea was calm and we had prime cetacean spotting conditions. We quickly found 2-3 minke whales before encountering 2 lunge feeding humpback whales! On our way back, we spotted 2 pods of about 7 and 12 white-beaked dolphins. In the afternoon we found a pod of 15 white-beaked dolphins, at least 3 minke whales!

    An overcast morning as we headed out to sea, and started our search for whales! We soon spotted some fast and elusive minke whales - 3 in total - feeding and travelling at high speeds. It was difficult to get a good look, so we continued our search but unfortunately didn‘t spot anything else, so gave our guests complimentary tickets to try again another day. In the afternoon, there was a little rain, and we searched the bay far and wide. After some time, we spotted a pod of 10 white-beaked dolphins and close by, a pair of humpback whales! They exhibited some brilliant surface behaviour and we managed a great look at them before heading back to the harbour with smiles on our faces.

    Under a beautiful sunny day with a calm bay, we headed out on our morning tour. Soon, we spotted 6-7 white-beaked dolphins playing and jumping, a great sighting! Soon after, we spotted 3-4 minke whales feeding and even more dolphins, which were everywhere in the bay today! A fantastic morning at sea. In the afternoon, we again spotted white-beaked dolphins, around 10 this time, very soon into the tour. Then, a humpback whale! We had some great fluke dives with this individual, and then we had a very busy area with 4 harbour porpoises, 4 minke whales and another 3 humpback whales! The bay was truly alive today!

    With a cold wind and sunny skies, we left the harbour and soon noticed how many seabirds were around - a great amount of puffins, fulmars, gannets and more! We spent some time searching in the bay but unfortunately we couldn‘t find anything this time, so gave our guests complimentary tickets to try their luck another time. In the afternoon, we again headed out full of hope, and some beautiful skies & seabirds everywhere! We searched the bay again, and towards Hvalfjörður, but our search turned up fruitless and we gave our passengers complimentary tickets to try once more!
