We started this evening's tour with a visit by Akurey the puffin colonies. Many of the Puffins were sitting at the surface around the island while others were flying above the island. The weather was great, so peaceful and quiet and the sunset was amazing. Out on the bay we
We headed straight out to Akurey to visit the puffins. We saw some puffins around the island sitting on the surface. Then we headed out to search for the whales. We spotted many many blows from the whales and even a big blow, bigger than a minke whale blow, but we did not fi
Again we visited Akurey before going out whale watching. There were some puffins on and around the island so we could take a good look at the birds. After a nice time with the puffins, the search for the whales began. We had to search a big area to find the whales, but in th
Again another great tour. Saw at least 4-5 Minke Whales, surfacing really close to the boat (10-20 meters). You could even see one of the Minkes travelling just beneath the surface of the water, it looked like it was rolling. Then it surfaced 2-3 times really slowly showing
Due to strong winds on the bay we have cancelled the first Midnight Whale Whale watching tour of the season. The forecast looks much better for tomorrow so we hope that the first actual Midnight Whale Watching tour of the season will be super nice tomorrow night! Tour at 17:
On this tour we almost could buy ice cream at the Keflavik airport because we had to go MUCH further out than we usually do because the bay was quite empty tonight, but it was worth it and after a long time sailing we spotted finally two Minke Whales at the same time and the
The weather was also great on our last tour. We could enjoy a calm sea and really beautiful sunlight. First of all we went to Akurey the puffin island and saw some puffins sitting on the surface and flying around the island. There where also some eider ducks on the island. T
Again we sailed very far out to were the Minke Whales were on the previous tour but unfortunately the flocks weren't there anymore but we did see at least 2-3 Minkes without the birds. They were however very difficult to follow. Only surfacing twice before disappearing and t
A very good tour. We set out on really calm seas and saw the Puffins at Akurey, Puffin Island. Then we headed straight to where we saw the Minke Whales on the 13:00 tour. We stuck it rich once again. First we found a couple of White-beaked Dolphins that were travelling at a
The sea conditions were great for this tour. couldn't believe how much calmer the sea was from the earlier tours. Once again there was not many puffins on the Island but we saw a lot offshore. It wasn't long before we saw a large flock of feeding seabirds which is a really g
We headed out again from Grindavík harbour in sunny and windy weather. The wind had picked up a little bit but that did not stop us searching for the whales. We sailed out about 30 min without seeing anything, but then suddenly we spotted a blow! And again we found a very ni
Again we saw lots of puffins around Akurey. The wind was picking up when we headed out to Faxaflói bay. And like this morning the whales were very difficult to find. We fou
Wind had definitely picked up on this tour. It was also a long time before we came across a Minke Whale. It surfaced a couple of times but far away. The next Minke Whale surfaced many times but always in the wrong direction so the swell would always cover the whale. Later we
Unfortunately the 1700 was not that good. The weather had calmed down a lot but the wildlife was very difficult. We did come across a small pod of White-beaked Dolphins which surfaced a couple of times but in completely different places. This made it very difficult to point
On this tour we sailed straight out to Faxalfói bay to the area where we saw the fin whale, but had no luck seeing him again. We spotted a blow in a distance but didn't se
Again we sailed straight out to Faxaflói bay, the weather was the same as the earlier tour. It took us a while before we saw our first minke whale. After we saw the first one we spotted few other minke whales surfacing all around us. It was almost hard to decide were to look
This time we sailed straight out to Faxaflói bay, the wind had picked up for this tour. We had no luck with finding the whales. On our way home we stopped by Akure
Sea conditions were still the same but the Minke Whales were great. Saw at least 4-7 individuals. They were surfing the waves and surfacing many times and on occasion 20-30 meters from us. Great tour.
It was along journey to find the whales on this tour but once we got there after about 1-1hr 20mins sailing the Minke Whales were great. Must of seen at least 5 or 6 individuals. They surfaced many times and 30-40 meters from the boat too. On the way there we also got to sme
We headed straight out to Faxaflói to find the whales again. And they were still in the same area, busy feeding so it was quite ease to find them again. This time we spotted 4-6 minke whales and a small group of harbour porpoises. We stayed with them for a while, enjoyed the
