Whale diary

Tour at 13:00

It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine and little wind. Just before we left the harbour we got a phone call from a fisherman, who told us that he had seen a humpback whale close to Keflavík, which is some distance from our usual whale watching area. We thought about it

Once again, no whales today, but we did spot some of the nice and cute harbour porpoises right in the beginning of the tour.

Tour at 15:00

We postponed the trip til 15:00 because then the wind had decreased and the sea was a bit calmer. In spite of this, we weren't able to find any whales, so we gave our brave passengers a complimentary ticket. Hopefully they will have better luck next time!!

The wind had calmed down, so we decided to try going out. We had really beautiful weather with sunshine but it was pretty cold. After some time searching we suddenly spotted a minke whale. It surfaced several times close to our boat, but passengers had to be quick to spot it

We had snow today! But this didn't keep people from going whale watching. Today we spotted only one minke whale. It appeared all of a sudden in front of the boat and surfaced about five times. Then it disappeared. After that we spent the rest of the time searching for more a

Finally we have some great weather today, the sun is shining and there is no wind... perfect for whale watching :) We didn't have to sail very far to spot the whales today, we first encountered a group of Harbour porpoises, and soon after we spotted a group of white-beaked d

We had just as much luck as this morning. We spotted two pretty good minke whales. One of the two came up just beside the boat once and surprised everybody! In the end we had two quite good tours today!

A fantastic day and an even better tour! Soon after we started searching we spotted our first minke whale. It surfaced at least five times but was far away. When we finally got closer to it we waited and waited but it didn't come up again. Shortly after giving up on it we sp

It was a bit rougher than we had expected out there this afternoon, and we had to search for a long time before we saw anything. We spotted in total 3 groups of white-beaked dolphins, but they always disappeared after just surfacing a couple of times, so it was very difficul

A bit windy this afternoon, but the sea conditions were still pretty good. The engineer spotted a blow and as we turned the boat and stopped, we saw the flukes of a Humpback whale as it went for a deep dive! We spotted the Humpback once more but it didn't seem very intereste

We spent a lot of time searching for whales. Then all of a sudden we spotted two animals at once. They turned out to be a humpback whale and a minke whale. What a surprise! We haven't seen a humpback whale for weeks. Both whales surfaced slowly several times before they went

Big change from yesterday! We had a very nice and successful tour! First we spotted about three minke whales. The weather was good and the whales were easy to follow. There were also some dolphins around but we were so busy watching the minke whales that we couldn't pay a lo
