    We had very nice weather for this late afetrnoon tour. Almost no wind, very soft light conditions and almost no other boats out at sea. Just us and the whales. We had in fact a very good chance today to approach several Minke whales. We had four main sightings, with 3 different

    Third tour of the day and a fantastic one too! :-) We spotted several minke whales not far out on the bay and were enjoying those sightings when we spotted a big blow in the distance - the humpback whale! We sailed towards it and it was a joy to watch. It showed its fluke be

    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 :-(

    Unfortunately we weren't as lucky as our previous trips. We only spotted a harbour porpoise once, but hardly anyone saw it :(  We hope our passengers can join us for a complimentary tour as soon as possible!!

    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

    The weather was incredible out on the bay this evening. The visibility was excellent and we enjoyed the scenery as well as the calm sea and evening sun. Our first sighting was a couple of shy harbour porpoises that came up to the surface a couple of times before disappearing

    Weather slowly improved and sea birds were still many spotted. Unfortunately whales were not around even if we had some time. We have spotted blows around the area where we did have sightings during the all day.

    We decided to try our luck again but we seareched this time far far out in the Faxaflói bay, an area where we usually never go. The tour was about six hours but it was it worth!!! We found several minke whales and a humpback whale. Actually the passengers could smell a minke

    Report from Hafsúlan: The weather was still really good in the afternoon, although the wind had picked up a little (tiny) bit. We sailed out on Faxaflói bay and spotted a minke pretty soon. It wasn't very cooperative, so we headed further out... and that certainly paid off!
