Whale diary

Tour at 20:30

Report from Eldey: The weather just got better and better as the day went on and by the time we left the harbour this evening the wind had almost died completely. I was even sweating inside my overalls at the beginning of the trip, and that never happens!

Tour at 20:30 Report from Elding: We were lucky that the wind was blowing from the south east, so our way in the bay was actually a nice and smooth ride. Only 25 mins after departure we had our first and weirdest encounter: A pod of 6-7 white beaked dolphins

Report from Elding: The weather definitely calmed down for our midnight tour and we started our trip with a little bit of sunset in between the clouds. We were sailing peacefully enjoying our marvelous Faxafloi, which is always full of mysteries and good s

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: It was almost impossible to see where the sea ended and the sky began, sea was so flat and reflected the colors of the clouds in a perfect way. The first sighting were 2-3 harbour porpoises that we passed by on the way

Tour at 20:30 
Report from Elding: Despite the fog that had rolled in since this morning, the weather conditions were perfect for whale-watching as we left the harbour. The flat seas and uniform colour meant that sighting our first animals were easy. We had a pod of 7

Tour at 20:30

Report from Eldey: It was typical icelandic weather with rain and an overcast sky. But with only very little wind, the trip was very pleasant, as everyone was wearing our overalls to stay dry. It took us quite some time, until we spotted our first animals

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: It´s alway nice to miss the rain and for most the tour we did, watching it fall in the distance is always amazing and Icelands constantly changing conditions is what astounds tourists constantly. We had a fun ride, headed out into Faxa

Tour at 20:30:

​Report from Elding: What a change to the weather, and what a beautiful night sky over Reykjavík. Although we still had westerly winds, they had certainly calmed down and only made our boat rock whenever we had to turn sideways to the wav

Tour at 20:30

Report from Hafsúlan: Definitely the best tour of the day! As soon as we reached the area where we got the best sightings on the previous tours today we spotted a blow far out. This turned out to be a very elusive humpback whale. We follow

Report from Elding: A windy and slightly miserable start to the midnight sun whale watching tour. Overcast skies and fine rain. This improved throughout the tour and at the opportune moment the skies cleared and the midnight sun pushed it´s way through the

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: We started our last trip of the day with a tons of hope in our hearts, the day had been wonderful for whale watching so we were expecting everything tonight. We sailed for a while into the bay but what we found was a big mist coming fro

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: Finally weather was fine: no rain, no swell, no wind. Even with overcast sky we were able to enjoy sailing trough calm sea. This time we decided to try something new and we try another path. We sailed along Reykjaness peninsula almost a

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: the wind had picked up and the sun was hidden behind the clouds but still the conditions were nice. We sailed out but it was difficult to find the cetaceans. We did get a really quick look at a minke whale that surfaces

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: It was bumpy on the way out, we sailed into the wind so the swells splashed over the boat making it challenging to move around the boat. We had sailed for only 30 minutes when we spotted our first minke whale. At first

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: This tour had two chapters, one with adventures and another with relaxing. The sea was choppy at the beginning when we were sailing in the opposite direction of wind, but it was also kind of fun to jump over the waves and felt like on t

Tour at 20:30

Report from Elding: Still choppy seas were waiting for us in the bay. For almost one hour we sailed across the northern shore, getting as much shelter as we could. Then we adventured ourselves inside the bay and we spotted a few blows in the distance, but

Report from Elding: What a wonderful night we had out in the Faxafloi! We started the show with a magnificent humpback whale feeding like crazy, both in the bottom and in the surface! It was absolutely amazing watching the animal throwing

Tour at 17:00

Report from Eldey: Nice tour to end the day on our boat Eldey! About 40 minutes away form departure we encountered our first humpback whale! Not only it was the easiest big guy to follow (all the time surfacing 30 meters away from our boat
