    We headed straight out to Faxaflói to find the whales. After a while we found a minke whale. This whale was slowly surfacing just next to us, only 20 meters away from the boat, so many times! We stayed with that minke whale for a while and it was very lovely, being very clos

    We headed straight out into Faxaflói Bay and after about 40 minutes of sailing we found our first Minke Whale. However this Minke had company already from another whale watching vessel so we stayed with it only for a short time. Then we headed out a little further and found

    Report from Elding: On our way out we spotted a small splash most likely from Harbour Porpoises, but when we slowed down we didn't see it again so we kept on going. 30 minutes later there was another splash and we spotted the pod of Harbour Porpoises this time. We stayed wit

    Once again the midnight sun was breath taking and seeing Reykjavik lit up on the way back was the perfect ending to the tour. We started our adventure at Lundey Puffin Island and saw maybe 5-6 Puffins hanging out with the numerous Black Guillemots (more than I've ever seen t

    What a beautiful evening. One of the best sunsets I've seen this summer and really nice seeing Reykjavik lit up on our way back to the harbour. We started at Akurey and there wasn't many there, it was like spotting Waldo but nice to think they are snuggled up in their burrow

    A very disappointing tour in all aspects for both the passengers and the crew. Once again Faxaflói Bay was lifeless. Not even a blow from a whale in the distance and if that wasn't enough the Midnight sun didn't show its self either and hid behind the clouds. The best thing
