Again, a similar trip to the previous two. We spotted the Humpback whale again, along with dozens of Minke whales all around us. This time we were even more lucky... the Humpback whale breached 4 times in a row!! The first time most of us missed it, but the next three times
We went out on a privat whale watching tour on Elding II with a group from France. It was truly a perfect tour! We spotted many Minke whales, a couple of them very close to the boat, and some cute Harbour porpoises. We were enjoying the sightings when we got a call from the
The sea was still extremly calm and the whales were many out there. In fact, we had more than 4 minke whales, 2 of which came pretty close, a couple of white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises on our way back.
It got more windy than in
Two pods of white-beaked dolphins has been spotted: some individuals were folowing us swimming along the side of the boat. More than 10 minke whales all around us.
Still the same perfect sea and wether conditions for this early aftrnoon tr
A nice late evening tour: the birds life is alsways great at 17.00, when all birds are gathering in lage flocks. The minke whales has been spotted mainly close to those flocks of feeding birds, at least 3 and we had as well a sighting of an humpback whale, which came very cl
We headed again to the same area as we were in on the earlier trips today. We found about 5 Minke whales and were able to observe one of them very closely. There were still thousands of birds feeding in the area. Obviously a lot of food for the birds and whales here these da
We began by stopping at puffin island Akurey to look at the birds. We didn't have to sail out very far before we spotted a Minke whale, but we saw a big blow in the distance and decided to have a look at this animal. It turned out to be two Humpback whales! They stayed with
Whale watching tour cancelled due to bad weather conditions.
It was windy already at the beginning of the tour, the end was almost stormy. We saw several Minke whales, very shortly disseappearing in water, and several Humpback whales, one
The humpback whales were still many out at sea: we encountered again some we spotted in the morning and afternoon, and all and all we had more than 5 of them, some of which were feeding in the same spot with the white-beaked dolphins!

Again we left from Grindavík harbour, and sailed a similar route as at 13:00. This time we were much luckier! We spotted a Minke whale on the way to the Krísuvíkurberg cliff, but we soon lost it. On the way back from to the harbour after turning the boat around, we sp
Cancelled due to increasing winds :(
The wind was even stronger now, and we only managed to see a few white beaked dolphins very quickly before we lost them. No luck this time.
Strong winds made the trip
At the beginning of our tour, there were no whales visible, we sailed the first hour without seeing them, but on our way back we met Humpback whale and we stayed in a close distance watching its behaviour. It jumped once and then it kept surfacing.
Such a unique tour this late afternoon: not only the sea was still calm, but the whales displayed really much: one minke whale was jumping in front of us, less than 100 m for so many times that I forgot the exact number.. jumping, breaching, even in belly up! And even the hu
Still a lot of minke whales were feeding out in Faxafloi: we could observed 4 of them, as well as a pod of more than 4 white-beaked dolphins and one humpback whale!
Another successful tour: still a lot of minke whales were around and al le
No data
This afternoon as well we spotted some minke whales. The first one seemed to be avoiding the boat. Therefore we left it after a little while. The second one was more fun to watch until it suddenly went down for a long long deep dive and wa
We found 3 or 4 Minke whale individuals, which was of course great. Some of our passengers spotted some huge splashes out in the distance, so we decided that we would go and investigate what was causing the splashes, although this meant we would be late. A young Humpback wha
The weather was a bit rougher as usual in the late afternoon and we spotted few minke whales quite far from the coast!
This afternoon was as successful as the morning trip: more than 5 minke whales, playful white-beaked dolphins and one hu
The sea state got a little bit rougher than this morning and the whales moved futher out but we still had a great chance to spot a new humpback whale, we didn´t know from the previous weeks wich displayed a lot of unusual behaviours!
Anoth
Another very successful tour: first stop Puffin Island where many puffin where waiting for us, then going out three humpback whales stayed with us for at least half an hour, one minke whale and white-beaked dolphins have been spotted.

This evening we went out and looked for the Humpback whales again, we found at least 4-5 individuals but were unable to get a close look at any of them as they were very busy feeding. It was nice though, we were able to spot the whales flukes as they went down for their deep
