After we got into Faxaflói bay we first spotted one Minke Whale. This Minke Whale was very difficult. Later we spotted a small pod of Harbour Porpoises, they surfaced several times for us to see them. The next two Minke Whales were a bit easier but still difficult so we deci
At this point the wind was almost all gone and there were no white caps any more. We headed out and this time we decided to head further out. On our way some of us spotted a small pod of Harbour Porpoises. But they quickly disappeared so we headed on. When were getting prett
The wind picked up slightly but the weather was pretty much the same as before except for the beautiful evening light. It took us a very long time to find the Minke Whales for this tour as once again they were about 50 mins to 1hrs boat ride out but eventually we found them.
The wind had picked up slightly but it was a beautiful evening to go whale watching. Again it only took us about 40 minutes to find our first Minke Whale which we stayed with for a while, it was great surfacing less than 50 meters on occasion and after it got used to our pre
The wind had picked up allot when we headed out again this afternoon. And we had to sail for a long time before we were able to find the whales. 35 kilometres from the harbour we finally came in an area with a few Minke Whales, a big group of White-beaked dolphins and lots o
The wind had picked up slightly but the evening light was really beautiful. Unfortunately the Minke Whales were again about an hours ride out and very elusive. We saw loads of blows from the whales but never the body. The bay was also quite quiet on the seabird front too whi

There were quite bad conditions out on the bay today. Pretty big waves out there and the wind was picking up allot during the tour. But we were quite lucky to find 2 or 3 Minke whales and they surfaced 40-50 meters from our bo
The wind had picked up even more during this tour. It started out quite difficult. We spotted first two different Minke Whales. They surfaced several times and then they went for a long deep dive and it was hard to track them when they came up again. In the area there were f
The wind had calmed down a lot on this tour which was great. We headed straight out into Faxaflói to where the whales were in the last tours. We got there and the Minke whales were amazing rolling, surfing the waves, surfacing less than 30 meters from the boat, lunging out o
The wind was picking up some more and in the end of this trip it was getting quite rough. But very nice tour though. We didn’t count the Minke whales we spotted in one very good area with lots of diving Gannets and feeding birds, many hundreds of them. And like always it was
This tour was just amazing. The weather could not be better. The sea was like mirror, the sun was shining and hardly any wind. We sailed out to the same area we spotted all the whales earlier today, and the whales were still there feeding. Many, many Minke whales and also lo

We started this tour in Lundey Puffin Island where there were a few puffins around. Then we sailed out to Faxaflói and had to search for quite a long time before we found a Minke Whale. There were two of them in the same area but they were a little bit difficult to follow, b
