It was quite windy out on Faxaflói this morning, but we took some brave passengers out there to look for the whales. In spite of the big waves, the strong wind and the rain, we found plenty of Minke whales, pr

Tour at 13:00

Again we found lots of Harbour Porpoises throughout the trip. We also spotted again a few Minke whales, and got a close look at a few of them. Another successful trip, very similar to this morning, but a bit windier! The forecast predicts some very windy days up ahead, but h

In the Faxafloi bay the wind was strong today. But the sun was shining through the grey clouds and there were rainbows all around us:) A Minke whale surfaced far from us, but we sailed towards it and were able to observe it very well. When it disappeared we very soon found a

The passanger had to show quite much patience on this tour and the wind picked a bit. We spend a lot time searching for whales. But we were able to spot one quite good minke whale which surfaced several time in front of the boat. Later we had a nice group of the shy harbour

Tour at 13:00

Another successful trip! Again there were plenty of Minke whales around, even some whales lunge feeding. We also spotted 2 groups of white-beaked dolphins and as we were sailing back towards the harbour we spotted lots of harbour porpoises. Again we could enjoy an up-close e

The wind had slowed down a bit so we decided to head out to look for the whales. It rained for most of the trip, and at the beginning things weren't looking very good. We briefly spotted 2 Minke whales and a small group of Harb

Unfortunately, neither of our two boats (Elding and Hafsúlan) which went out were able to spot any whales! Our guide and first mate on Elding spotted a big blow of the Humpback whale about 300 metres away, but it went for a deep dive and we weren't able to spot it again. Our

Its sunny and the sea is still calm. A Minke whale is traveling with us at the beginning of our tour. We also met a group of Harbour porpoises. Later there were many Minke whales around and shortly we saw also the White beaked dolphins, but they were fast and didnt show inte

Tour at 13:00

On this tour we spotted a Minke whale very soon. And also a calf. I didnt approach us, but we were able to see it from a distance of 100metres. We also met a group of White beaked dolphins and later the Minke whale appeared all around. So we had a sighting of dolphins and Mi

The weather was even better on this tour than in the morning, calm sea, warm and sunny. We were more lucky now, spotting several minke whales, often many in the same area. We also saw a couple of dolphin groups, and like in the morning we could see the splashes they made fro

Tour at 13:00

At the beginning of our tour we spotted very soon some Harbour porpoises, a group of them, they were maybe just 100m in front of us. We havent seen them for a long time, so it was special to see them again. As they are shy and fast, they disappeared. But a Minke whale appear

Tour at 17:00

It was a nice afternoon out on the bay. The sea was very calm and the weather was allright too, a little rain but nothing too bad ;-) We saw a group of white-beaked dolphins first, spotted the splashes on the surface and headed over there. They were very nice, bow-riding and

Tour at 17:00

Its cloudy and cold, but we saw a rainbow. Rainbows should bring luck:) and it did, because there were even more Minke whales than in the morning, and also the White beaked dolphins appeared again. They were breaching just in front of our boat. When they spotted us, they tra
