Whale diary

Tour at 13:00

We sailed directly out to the area were we spotted the minke whale earlier. But no sign of it. Further out we found the young minke whale again. In the beginning it was very difficult to get close to it, then after using a lot of patience, finally the small cute minke surfac

The sea condition was calm and pretty good weather when we headed out this afternoon. After sailing for some time we spotted one minke whale. In the beginning it was quite tricky to follow it but after a while it became very nice to us surfacing many times and one time only

It was still very windy on this tour and you could also feel the rain when heading into the wind but it was ok when heading with it. Unfortunately no Minkes or Dolphins for this tour but we did see Harbour Porpoises jumping quite high and a lot of them too. Not to many birds

We headed out from Hafnarfjörður this afternoon and travelled near to the coast along the Rekjanes Peninsula towards Keflevik. It took us a while to see our first cetacean but eventually we found quite a large pod of White-beaked Dolphins with really small calves. We stayed

The wind had picked up a bit when we headed out on our afternoon tour. It took as some time to find something but then we spotted the White Beaked Dolphins. The dolphins came really close to the boat only 3 meters from us. They where diving under the surface close to the boa

The weather was much better on this tour. We didn't had to wait long before we spotted the first Minke Whale. After a while we spotted a few Minke Whales in the same area. One Minke Whale surfaced only 10 meters from the boat. It was also amazing to see the Gannets diving, t

The weather was getting better and better when we headed out this afternoon. It was a fantastic tour we got. A big group of fast swimming harbour porpoises crossed our path and we could see them very clearly. We spotted one minke whale far away and when we got closer we saw

Tour at 13:00

A very successful tour. Calm seas, blues skies and once again great visibility. Our first cetacean of the tour was a large pod of Harbour Porpoises which we were able to stay with for a short time before spotting a small pod of White-beaked Dolphins in the distance. These we

The wind had picked up a little on this tour but the sun was still strong and visibility was still perfect. Our first cetacean of this tour was a Minke Whale which did surface many times to begin with but surfaced more frequently later on. We got word from Elding II about so

Tour at 13:00

The weather was very nice, the sea was getting calmer but the whales were hard to find once again. We spent a long time searching and no sign of them. On our way back to the harbour suddenly a big group of white-beaked dolphins showed up 50 meters from the boat. And it was a

Tour at 13:00

Luck was with us this afternoon. The sea condition were much better and we found one minke whale and a group of white-beaked dolphins. The minke whale surfaced a few times before disappearing but we could follow the dolphins for quite some time. They surfaced very close and

Tour at 13:00

A tour to remember. Mirror calm seas, beautiful dynamic skies and great cetaceans. We saw all three species on this tour Minke Whales (at least two individuals, different areas), White-beaked Dolphins (seemed to be everywhere in the bay today) and Harbour Porpoises (which we

Tour at 13:00

Once again not the best of tours. Very rough, bad visibility and raining hard for some of the tour. The sun did come out though at the end and showed us a rainbow and the fog cleared. We did catch a glimpse of a Minke Whale on this tour but it was very difficult to follow. C

Tour at 13:00

Not the best of tours today with regards to both the weather and the cetaceans. It was still quite windy, raining and not very good visibility. It took us almost the whole tour to see our first cetaceans. We got word from a friend of ours whom was out in his boat and saw a p

Tour at 13:00

The weather was the same when we headed out this afternoon full of hope of finding the whales again. Soon after we came to the whale watching aria we saw some blows far away, 300-400 meters in front of us. It was from two minke whales but they only surfaced 4-5 times before

Tour at 13:00

Once again a beautiful tour at sea. The wind had calmed down a little but it was still quite rough. It took us a little longer to find the Minke Whales on this tour but we found them nonetheless. One even surfaced just 10meters from our boat it was incredible. We watched the

Tour at 13:00

Cancelled due to rough weather out in Faxaflói Bay.

Tour at 09:00

The sea conditions in the harbour were mirror calm but the sea conditions out in Faxaflói, WOW!! Very windy making the tour a bit like a roll coaster. Fun for some not so fun for others.

Tour at 13:00

Again we sailed out in a beautiful weather and pretty calm sea. It took us a long time until we spotted something, we got news from another boat about white beaked dolphins, and soon after that we spotted them. They swam around the boat 7 of them at least together very playf
