It was a bit windy today, but a least the sun was shining and warming our spirits! All in all, we encountered 2 minke whales, a group of white beaked dolphins and 3 harbour porpoises on today's tours.
We were unable to find any cetaceans in the bay this morning and therefore our passengers were offered complimentary tickets. In the afternoon we found a couple of minke whales (one quite close to Viðey island) and a few harbour porpoises.
We sailed out on this crisp autumn evening, under a clear sky! The northern lights were with us all eve and around the halfway mark they increased drastically strength. It was a magical evening and the lights seemed to be getting stronger throughout!
The night was cold and some rain was falling, but the forecast was saying that we should have some gaps in the clouds during the tour. Eventually this gaps appeared but without northern lights. Therefore we offered complimentary tickets to our passengers, for another chance!
Due to unfavourable weather and rough sea conditions, we have decided to CANCEL all our tours!
In the morning we had encounters with a pod of about 30 playful white-beaked dolphins as well as a minke whale and in the afternoon we also saw a minke whale in addition to a humpback whale!
As we headed out of the harbour there were some clouds and through the clouds we started to see some northern lights. They were hiding through the clouds for most of the tour, making it difficult to see. We then decided to give out complimentary tickets!
We sailed into the bay while the sun was creeping through the clouds. On both Classic tours today we managed to spot minke whales and an active pod of white-beaked dolphins that were jumping out of the water right in front of us!
Although the night was cold, the stars were very beautiful in the night sky. The northern lights didn't want to appear tonight so we gave complimentary tickets to our passengers for them to be able to join the tour again!
Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we have decided to CANCEL the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!
