The weather was the same, quite rough when we headed out again this afternoon. Again we spent a long time searching, but then we got some news of a whale. This minke whale was very difficult to get close to, three times it surfaced 50-60 meters from the boat but it was quite

Whale watching tour cancelled due to a bad weather out in Faxaflói bay
Quite strong winds were blowing over Faxaflói bay this morning but the sun was out after the first 30 minutes. We searched for a long time for whales, checking out diff
Again the weather was lovely although the wind was picking up slightly. We headed back to the same area we were before and spotted several groups of Harbour Porpoises while we searched for the Minke whales. Nature can behave in mysterious ways though, for everything seemed t
The sea was incredibly calm this afternoon and we headed back to the same area as before. We found two groups of Harbour Porpoises, one very early on in the trip and the other as we came to the whale watching area. In the same area we spotted a Minke whale! We stayed for abo
Amazing weather today, blue skies, calm sea and great visibility. It wasn't long when we found our first Minke Whale of the tour and what a great Minke it was, surfaced many times and on one occasion less than 10 meters from us. Then all the other whale watching boats came a
It was a really good tour this afternoon! First when we headed out we spotted a big pod of Harbour Porpoises and also two Minke Whales in the same area. We could follow one of the Minke Whales for a long time and this one was also surface feeding. Really amazing to see the p
This tour started off very well with many diving Gannets, 2-3 Minke Whales and Harbour Porpoises, wildlife everywhere it was fantastic then it just seemed to die down very quickly, less birds and deep, long diving Minkes. We went for a bit of a sail around to see if we could
The sea conditions had calmed down a lot on this tour and you could see more of the landscape. We headed out to the spot where we had been successful in the previous tour and the tours of yesterday but no luck. There were loads of Gannets though doing their amazing diving te
After a short time searching we found a minke whale. This whale surfaced few times and sometimes quite close to us. It even tricked us a little bit by surfacing first in front of us and then behind us :) After a while we headed further out to try to find other whales. We had
Despite the fact that no matter which way we turned the rain was hitting our face with quite a lot of force it was actually quite a good tour. First we saw a large pod of Harbour Porpoises which were about 20-30 meters away and didn't want to come closer before disappearing
The sea conditions were perfect but unfortunately the bay was not. We did see great Harbour Porpoises and White-beaked Dolphins but no luck with the Minke Whales :(.
Again an amazing tour!! We started out with a pod of Harbour porpoises wh
Given the strong south-westerly winds in the bay, the tour departed from Keflavík this evening. We started out in rather pleasant and calm weather, visiting the bird colony near the harbour of Keflavík and getting a close-up look at the juvenile Kittiwakes that just hatched
This evening we still had nice weather. First we spotted some splashes of Harbour Porpoises and spotted them quite far away before they disappeared. But short after that we spotted our first Minke Whale. We could follow this whale for a few minutes before we headed further o
The sea conditions got a little rougher on this tour and it took us a while before we saw our first whale. It was Harbour Porpoises first which surfaced 8-10 times before disappearing then we headed to where the Gannets were diving and that's where we saw our first Minke Wha
AMAZING TOUR!!!!! Still pretty rough weather but we probably wouldn't see what we did see without it. First great thing was the pod of Harbour Porpoises that were in the swell surfacing together in a line but they didn't stick around long. Then we suddenly saw a Minke Whale
Sailed out on this tour to mirror calm seas and great cetaceans. We only saw one Minke Whale but what a Minke it was. Surfaced many times and on occasion 15-20 meters from our boat. We also came across a couple of pods of Harbour Porpoises which where surfacing 10 meters fro
We headed out in a great weather this afternoon. Soon we spotted very playful harbour porpoises! They were leaping out of the water, giving us a good chance to observe them very well. After a while we decided to head further out and try to find something else. We went very f
We headed out this evening in nice whale watching weather but later the wind picked up and we had some rain. Unfortunately we didn't spot any whale but complimentary tickets were given. This evening we had the longest trip ever this summer because we really wanted to find so
The weather was just perfect for a whale watching tour! Very soon in our tour we found some harbour porpoises! They were surfacing only 30 meters away from us but they were little bit shy, so we decided to head further out. After a little while we saw a minke whale! This wha
