  • NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

The night was beautiful with bright stars and not so much clouds. We waited maybe an hour before seeing the northern lights starting. First they were very faded and barely visible with the naked eye. We patiently observed and finally saw them becoming much brighter and extending towards the sky.

Within 15-20 minutes we had found Flak the humpback whale. This was combined with an incredible sunrise behind Reykjavik too. In the afternoon, and a very quick sailing, we found Flak the humpback whale still very close Skarfabakki pier, where it was feeding and going for short dives. It was a lovely sighting with an animal that was easy to observe.

It was very windy but with cozy overalls we pulled through the coming storm. Unfortunately the luck wasn't on our side and we didn't see any northern lights dancing. We passed by the Imagine Peace Tower on our way back and then gave out complimentary tickets so our passengers can come back once more.

As soon as we sailed out we had Flak the 'resident' humpback whale very close to the shore of Viðey island! We also saw a minke whale that came very close to the boat and kept on swimming towards the land. In the afternoon the humpback whale was still here and we also found 3 very active minke whales and a lone harbour porpoise.

Unfortunately the high clouds were quite thick and the activity very low. We patiently waited in the bay listening to music and drinking hot drinks but no lights appeared. We gave complimentary tickets to our passengers hoping that next time we will be luckier!

The sea was fairly calm this morning and we sailed to Viðey island to try our luck. We spotted Flak the humpback whale as well as another humpback and at least 7 harbour porpoises. In the afternoon Flak was seen feeding close to shore and even breached before we also spotted a minke whale!

We sailed out with a high hopes due to the very good forecast. As we left the harbour it was a fairly clear sky, we could see stars as well as Jupiter. Unfortunately, we ended up with a sky full of thick clouds and the lights didn't appear. So we offered everyone complimentary tickets. Hopefully the lights reappear tomorrow!

This moody morning we sailed out facing a snow covered majestic Esja. We spotted 1 minke whale and Flak the humpback whale! In the afternoon we also found Flak feeding and although it often changed direction, it always showing its beautiful fluke when it went for a dive.

We made our way towards Viðey island today and much to our delight, our friend FLAK the humpback whale showed up at just the right moment and we later also found some harbour porpoises. This happened on both of our tours today - what a magnificent day in beautiful Reykjavík!
