We sailed out again, and soon came to the area where we have had plenty of Minke whales, and sure enough, they were still there. We observed the Minke whales for a while before heading further out. As we were sailing we spotted a breaching Minke whale in the distance, but it
We sailed to Akurey and found lots of puffins on the island, finally! There have not been very many puffins for the past few days, but this evening the island was full of puffins :) We headed out onto Faxaflói and soon found some Minke whales in a similar area as the past fe

A lot of brave people joined us on this tour. Like in the afternoon it was it worth. We had many many minke whales around all the time, but I don't know if the passangers had a possibility to picture them because the sea was so rough that one needed to hold itself with both
Again we had lots of Minke whales as well as two groups of white-beaked dolphins. The dolphins weren't as playful in the morning, but we had an interesting encounter with a feeding Minke whale, coming up to the surface within a huge group of feeding birds.

Again, a similar trip to the previous two. We spotted the Humpback whale again, along with dozens of Minke whales all around us. This time we were even more lucky... the Humpback whale breached 4 times in a row!! The first time most of us missed it, but the next three times
We went out on a privat whale watching tour on Elding II with a group from France. It was truly a perfect tour! We spotted many Minke whales, a couple of them very close to the boat, and some cute Harbour porpoises. We were enjoying the sightings when we got a call from the

We headed again to the same area as we were in on the earlier trips today. We found about 5 Minke whales and were able to observe one of them very closely. There were still thousands of birds feeding in the area. Obviously a lot of food for the birds and whales here these da
We began by stopping at puffin island Akurey to look at the birds. We didn't have to sail out very far before we spotted a Minke whale, but we saw a big blow in the distance and decided to have a look at this animal. It turned out to be two Humpback whales! They stayed with

Cancelled due to increasing winds :(
The wind was even stronger now, and we only managed to see a few white beaked dolphins very quickly before we lost them. No luck this time.
Strong winds made the trip
