Report for Hafúlan: Once again the whales and the weather didn't fail us. Right where they have been the last couple of weeks. Minke Whales, Humpback Whales and my favourite at the moment the Harbour Porpoises. There are so many porpoises at the moment it has been just incre
Again we started the tour in this brilliant spring weather and the bay seemed to be even calmer than in the morning. We sailed for a longer time until we spotted the first signs of life, which was a group of White Beaked Dolphins coming really close to the boat. But while we
Report from Hafsúlan: In the afternoon the sea was even calmer than in the morning and the weather absolutely brilliant but still there was a really cold wind, to remind us where we are sailing! And Iceland’s largest bay was really good visited by different species this after
The wind had died down a little which was nice but the whales were still quite difficult until, nearer to the end of the tour when one Humpback came to check us out maybe asking us to help him as he was being harassed by a pod of Harbour Porpoises. It was good for us though
The wind died down a little but still quite choppy seas as we headed against the wind back to land at the ends of the tour. The Humpback Whales were a bit easier to approach this tour and we even had one surface just meters from the boat bringing up its glorious tail so clos
Sailing out into the bay in perfect weather we hoped to find the Humpback Whales from the morning tour again. Due to this we headed straight out into the bay. On the way out, there were again some Harbour Porpoises that showed up in front of the boat, as usually shy and just
Report from Hafúlan: Knowing about the sightings in the morning we headed straight back into the same area. The sea condition was still great but we had a little bit of rain in the beginning of the tour. But who cares about a bit of rain after such an unforgettable day!!! On
Report from Hafúlan: After this amazing morning we had high hopes when sailing out into Faxaflói Bay in brilliant weather. Already on our way out we found a pod of Harbour Porpoises, as usually they were quite shy and surfaced just a few times. Just a bit further out we enco
Once again the weather was delightful. We headed to our favourite place and again Humpback Whales and Minke Whales galore. We turned of the engines on a couple of occasions too enjoy the sounds of the whales and birds and watch as the birds swoop down to grab the fish, Humpb
Report from Elding: As we had a lot of passengers in the afternoon tour we decided to go on two boats. On the way out we had the wind behind us so it was calm to sail into the bay. When we spotted a flock of birds we wanted to have a closer look if there were Whales around a
As we ended our morning tour in Sandgerði, we started there the afternoon tour again. And this time we knew immediately that our decision to search in this area was right! We were sailing for less than ten minutes and we were in the middle of a great show!!! At least four Hu
We started a second time from Grindavík, after the long search in the morning. The weather was still amazing and we decided to check out another area close to land this time. As we were sailing not that far out than in the morning tour we hadn't that much swell most of the t
Cancelled due to rought weather conditions on Faxaflói bay.
The fog was thicker this afternoon when we headed out. The visibility was approximately. 150 meters only but we took the challenge and when searching for the whales. We wanted to see if our dear friend Mr. Humpback whale was in the same area as it was this morning. And voilà
Report from Hafúlan. We were sailing for quite a while straight out into the foggy but calm Faxaflói Bay, until we saw first a blow and then a black back! When coming closer we recognized it was not only one, there were two Humpback Whales swimming side by side. As they seem
Well let's start with the end of the tour, because what is a better news than to say, that it was hard to leave because of so many cetaceans around!! We were sailing for a really long time in the foggy bay until we saw the first blow of a bigger cetacean. It was a busy feedi
The wind had picked up a bit this afternoon. We decided to try another area this time. We sailed for a loooong time all the way to the end of Reykjanes peninsula. The sea was a bit rough and no signs of the whales. We were nearly out of the bay, sailing pass Garðskagi at the
We wanted to try our luck again with the humpback we saw this morning. We sailed for some time without any luck. The wind had picked up a little bit not still the weather was nice. We decided to move to another area. And there it was! The same humpback whale from the morning
Same beautiful conditions as the morning tour but with a lot less wind. We searched for a long time until about an hour into the tour the crew spotted some jumping White-beaked Dolphins in the distance with binoculars. We headed over to them and they were great. They came ri
What a day. Beautiful weather, loads of cetaceans and amazing scenery. The passengers spotted White-beaked Dolphins first but they were a little bit elusive so we didn't stay long with them. Then the passengers spotted a Minke Whale which surfaced many times and quite close
