• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

Today's whale watching tour at 09:00 from Reykjavík is on schedule. Remember to dress according to weather and feel free to borrow our thermal overalls if needed!

The sun was shining and it was a gorgeous morning in the bay. We had a good search on our morning tour, and found many seabirds feeding on fish, but unfortunately no cetaceans and we gave out complimentary tickets. In the afternoon, the weather remained clear and sunny, and found a humpback whale! It was Banana, our favourite well-known regular in the bay! It was great to see him again after a few days.

What a fantastic day! We left on our morning tour and spotted a humpback whale after about an hour of sailing. We had a great show with several fluke dives. In the afternoon, we headed out again and soon spotted 2 humpback whales! They were very active and one humpback was tail lobbing and the other was pectoral fin slapping! Brilliant!

A cold and a little windy, but we set sail on our morning tour and started the search for wildlife! We spotted a grey seal but unfortunately no cetaceans so we gave our passengers complimentary tickets. In the afternoon, we had a wintry mix of snow and rain, and headed out again. We had a brief sighting of harbour porpoises and continued to explore, but unfortunately couldn't find anything else and we handed out complimentary tickets again.

On our morning tour, we headed out with some snow and a beautiful winter‘s morning. After some sailing, we spotted a humpback whale - it was Banana, one of our regulars! In the afternoon, we had every weather in a few hours with intermittent snow and blue skies. We searched further out and then near the islands, but unfortunately we didn‘t find anything so gave out complimentary tickets.

Today's whale watching tour at 09:00 and 13:00 from Reykjavík were unfortunately cancelled due to bad weather conditions at sea!

In the morning, we sailed out with a bit of snow but the sun came out soon after. We sailed around the bay looking for wildlife, but unfortunately didn't find anything and we gave out complimentary tickets. In the afternoon, we had a similar mix of sun and snowy conditions, and after a good search, we found a humpback whale! It was Banana, one of our regulars. We also spotted 4-5 grey seals who were very inquisitive. A great way to end the day.

We left the harbour with a wintry mix on our morning tour, but the skies soon cleared and before long we found a humpback whale. We had very calm seas and we could even hear their breath. In our afternoon tour, the sun shined bright, and again found a humpback whale not far from land! It was banana, one of our favourite regulars to see! A great day in Faxaflói bay!

Another cold morning at sea, and we headed out in search of wildlife. Close to the island of Viðey, we spotted a humpback whale feeding. In the afternoon, the wind had picked up a bit but we had blue skies and were excited to see what was in store for us. We first spotted a grey seal close to Lundey, before seeing our resident friend Banana, a humpback whale. We could even see their whole body through the clear water, a brilliant afternoon at sea.

With calm seas and another beautiful sunrise, we departed the harbour for our morning tour. Around 30 minutes in to the tour, we spotted our first humpback whale of the tour! Of course, it was Banana, our regular humpback! In the afternoon, we had clear blue skies and a cold northerly wind, and headed out again to find our favourite humpback whale again, sleeping at the surface. Another brilliant day in Faxaflói bay!

There was a beautiful sunrise today as we headed out for our morning tour, and we spotted a Humpback Whale close to Viðey. It turned out to be one of our regulars - Banana! In the afternoon, the seas were even calmer and before long, we spotted our regular Humpback Whale, Banana, once again! A whale of a day!

A cold morning but we were excited to go out again after some windy weather. On our morning tour, we spotted 5 harbour porpoises, and then spotted one of our resident humpback whales! In the afternoon, the sea conditions remained good and we came across both of our usual humpback whales, as well as 4 harbour porpoises. A great day at sea!

Today‘s tours from Reykjavík were unfortunately cancelled due to bad weather conditions!

We went out on our morning tour full of hope, with slightly choppy seas and windy conditions. We search around the islands, where we had seen whales over the last weeks, and saw many big flocks of birds, but unfortunately we were not able to find any larger life in the sea, so we gave out complimentary tickets. Our afternoon tour was cancelled due to the worsening weather in the bay.

There was a little rain at the start of the day, but otherwise good conditions at sea, and we soon spotted our 2 humpback whales on our morning tour, with a rainbow appearing as well. In the afternoon, we had a bit more wind but luckily mostly flat seas, and we found our resident 2 humpback whales after a short search - a nice day at sea!

There were some winds today, but the temperature had gone up. On our morning tour we found 2 humpback whales after 30 minutes of searching, the same individuals we have been spotting recently. In the afternoon, we found the 2 humpback whales again, Banana & Split, as well as spotting 2 grey seals towards the end.

It started off as a cold day with good conditions at sea. On our morning tour, we found 2 humpback whales close to Engey island, and spent some time with them as they were diving. In the afternoon, we found 1 humpback whale near Lundey island and found our second humpback whale around 1km away. On both tours, we had great sightings of harbour and grey seals near Viðey island.
