We started the tour by visiting Lundey (Elding went to Akurey). There wasn´t as may puffins as the mornings visit to Akurey but there were a lot sitting outside their borrows on land. We then headed out offshore and found that the wind picked up slightly. We went to the same
The weather was like this morning’s tour, flat calm sea and sunny. The perfect whale watching weather. The first species we came across was Harbour Porpoises. A small pod and quite elusive Porpoises so we didn´t stay with them long. Then in the distance 2km away (yes that is
In the best whale watching weather you can ask for we headed out into Faxaflói Bay full of hope of finding the Humpback Whales again but the luck was not with us like this morning’s tour. Instead we spotted a small pod of Harbour Porpoises and a lot of Minke Whales. In the begi
Report from Hafsúlan: Weather conditions didn´t change from the morning tour. We headed straight out into Faxaflói for the 13:00 tour and visited the Puffin Island Akurey on the way home. The Minkes were still mainly in the same area as in the morning, so we knew exactly whe
During the second tour today the wind had picked up so we had quite many white wave tops which made it harder to search but the sea condition itself was still pretty good. We headed out and this time around it was more difficult to find the whales. We spotted two Minke Whale
The afternoon tour was really nice and the wind calmed down slightly. We headed offshore for quite a while towards the area were the Minkes were spotted this morning. First though we came across a very small pod of Harbour Porpoises which were very easy to follow because of
The second tour today was quite similar to the morning tour. Perfect weather, sunny and calm sea. After sailing for some time we spotted the first Minke Whale, and soon after that, another one. They were quite elusive, so we headed further out. And we found a very good area.
Report from Hafsúlan: Wonderful weather like the last couple of days. Very soon after we left the harbour we spotted a group of White-beaked dolphins. A very active group, breaching, jumping and fast swimming. They came quite close to the boat and we stayed with them for a w
Report from Elding We started our tour by visiting Akurey (Puffin Island) and saw many Puffins flying around the island and sitting on the water near. Then we headed out offshore and soon came across a small pod of White-beaked Dolphins (6-8 individuals). They had a juvenile
The weather was still really good and the sun even started shining :) We stopped at the puffin island on our way out on the bay and then we headed further out. First we saw several Harbour porpoises and also a Minke whale. This Minke was a very nice sighting for us, because
The weather wasn´t so great for this tour. It was starting to rain slightly and a little foggy. The sea was a bit choppy also. We started by visiting Akurey and saw a lot of Puffins as well as Eider Ducks and Gulls. Then we headed offshore, we first came across a pod of Harb
The weather changed a little bit this tour. We started the trip in Akurey, the Puffin island and then we sailed in to a creamy fog. We only could see 80 m. around the boat. Soon we spotted a small group of Harbour Porpoises, a nice group, surfacing a few times. Then we heade
The weather was even nicer during this tour. We started the tour again by stopping by Akurey the Puffin colony. And then we headed out. During the tour we had so many Harbour Porpoises all over the place really nice. We also had many Minke Whales on this tour most of them w
After sailing for about 30 minutes we first spotted a Pod of Harbour Porpoises and while we were looking at them a Minke Whale came up right next to them. We stayed in the area for a little while and there were at least 2 more Minke Whales there and loads of Harbour Porpoise
The wind looked as though it picked up a little in this tour but some of the passengers seemed to be enjoying the swells and at the end of the tour became professionals at stabling themselves in rough sea and enjoying the ride. Again it took us a little while to spot the wha
The weather conditions were about the same as we heading offshore. We came to an area where there were a Minke Whale but this Minke was quite elusive. We then suddenly found ourselves surrounded by Harbour Porpoises leaping out of the water and surfing the waves. We seemed t
After sailing for 45 minutes we spotted a small and shy group of Harbour Porpoises which dove away. Then we saw a blow from a Minke Whale further out. When we got closer we saw there were allot of birds in the area, feeding on Sand eels. We could even see the Sand eels in th
We headed straight towards the area where we had the sightings earlier today. Not many birds on the way over there and when we got to the area we sadly didn't find any whales. The sea conditions were pretty much the same and very had to search. Finally we got to an area wher
The swell had gone a lot down since this morning. After sailing for about 40 minutes a crew member spotted a blow from a whale, but it most likely went for a deeper dive since we didn't spot it again. Really close to where the blow was we spotted a flock of feeding birds so
The wind picked up slightly but it was still very sunny. We headed offshore onboard Elding and saw a couple of pods of Harbour Porpoises on our way offshore. It seemed to take ages to find anything except birds in Faxaflói on this tour. But when our hopes were starting to di
