    Quite windy still out there on the bay but we set off again. We found hundreds of birds out on the bay, many Kittiwakes, some Arctic Terns, Puffins, Fulmars and Gulls. We spotted one Minke whale several times before we set off towards Reykjavík again. Quite an adventurous day o

    The weather was similar as it was at noon. In the beginning of the trip the crew noticed big splashes in the distance. We were very excited and hoped to be able to approach what we believed to be a breaching whale. We saw the splashes several times, but unfortunately the ani

    This time the passengers had to show a bit more patience because the whales moved further out into Faxaflói bay. But in the end we found two minke whales, one of which was a calf. We were able to spend some time with them and

    The wind had picked up quite a lot and it was a bit difficult to find the whales but we were briefly able to spot two Minke whales as well as a third which was breaching in the distance (still!!!). There were a lot of puffins in the island this evening :)

    The weather was really wonderful on this tour. After a day of rain it cleared up around five o'clock and we sailed out on the bay in sunshine and dry weather. The sea was also really calm so it was a fantastic evening :-) We spotted a group of harbour porpoises really close

    We set off in the pouring rain here from Reykjavík harbour, and went first to see the puffins in Akurey. After sailing for just 10 minutes from the island we spotted the first Minke whale!! This whale was very close to shore, and soon after this encounter we spotted some Har

    Unfortunately we didn't spot any whales, dolphins or porpoises on this tour. We sailed far out on the bay and saw several areas with many flocks of feeding seabirds (which is usually a very good sign) but no whales were seen :-(

    The sea was still nice and calm like in the morning and it was lovely to sail out on the bay this evening. Like in the previous tours we had to sail far out on the bay, but it certainly paid of! We spotted a minke whale and it was very approachable :-) It came up to the surf
