Again we headed out to look for the whales, and now the wind had gone down quite a lot so the sea was much more calm. We headed towards the same area as we were this morning and again found several Minke whales out there. We got some really close sightings again as well whic
The wind calmed down a lot and we had fine weather in the afternoon, a bit wet though! We had very nice sightings: minke whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises. In the beginning we spotted the porpoises, a really nice group of at least twenty animals. They jumpe
At the same area like this morning we saw many diving gannets. And like the last few weeks we spotted there harbour porpoises. They were a bit difficult to spot today. While waiting for the porpoises we suddenly saw some splashes in the distance. We sailed there and found a
On this tour we were not very lucky. We soon spotted a group of Harbour porpoises, quite nice, but then we sailed around for a long time with no whales. At the end we saw two Minke whales but did not get close enough for all our passengers to see them. Since we are doing thi
Again we headed out and the weather was even worse. We were optimistic though, because we had such a nice trip in the morning. We headed back to the same area and again found the gannets feeding all around. It's quite spectacular to watch these elegant birds diving down in t
Unfortunately we weren't able to spot any whales on this trip, the sea was very rough and getting rougher!
It was a very rough today but there were still some brave people who joined us on this tour. We were quite lucky and spotted many, many harobur porpoises. They fed at the same area like all the gannets.
Report from Elding: The sea was still a little bit rough and the wind was picking up. We headed back to the same area where we were earlier and found some feeding Gannets. We spotted a Minke whale in the distance and sailed towards it but when we got close it was nowhere to
The weather was a little better, it wasn't raining quite as much, but it was quite foggy out on the bay. In spite of quite low visibility we spotted a really nice group of harbour porpoises which we followed for a while. The were just beneath a group of Gannets that were fee
Again we set off, prepared for worsening weather, but it stayed pretty similar to the trip this morning. We set off to the same area and found the Minke whales again. This time some we were even able to spot a Minke whale lunge feeding at the surface. Lunge feeding is when t
The wind had picked up a bit since this morning and it started raining, too. At the same area like in the morning we found the minke whales again. They made it a bit more difficult for us this time. They liked to dive rather a longer time and stayed mostly it bit further awa
The whales moved again further out and we had to search for a longer time. But we got rewarded by the sightings of many feeding minke whales!!! We spotted whales wherever we looked and we spent much time just sailing slowly around from minke whale to minke whale. It was not
We set off towards a similar area where we were this morning, but on the way suddenly a group of harbour porpoises just popped up in front of the boat, just 20m away. We spotted them a couple of times but they soon disappeared. We headed on further and came to the area where
Again we headed out with some nice weather. We found a group of white-beaked dolphins which swam towards us and it seemed that they swam underneath the boat. We weren't able to spot them again, as we were distracted when a Minke whale showed up quite unexpectedly! We were ab
Report from Elding: What a surprise! We spotted a minke whale quite early! It liked to dive a rather longer time but we were patient and got to see it several times. It was feeding at the bottom and stayed always in the same area so we could easily spot it when it came up to
The whales were still in a teasing mood! Like this morning our passengers had to be very patience. The whales stayed again very far out in Faxaflói bay. But our there we spotted a group of white-beaked dolphins. And what a surprise! There were two mothers with their calves.
Shortly after we left the harbour we found a small group of white beaked dolphins. They where not in a whale watching mood so we vent on, only to stop again with some groups of harbour porpoises They where quite nice, coming towards us more then once and swimming close to th
Another lovely trip with a nice calm sea. We headed towards the same area as we were before and again passed through this area where there were lots and lots of Harbour porpoises. We then sailed a bit further and again found a lot of Minke whales, probably 10-20 in one area.
Again we sailed out with a nice calm sea. We found the Harbour porpoises in the same area as this morning and had a look at them for a while. We then headed on a bit further and again, spotted some white-beaked dolphins jumping in the distance. As we approached they stopped
