The stars were bright and with no clouds in sight, we sailed out past the islands and waited patiently. Unfortunately however, the auroras never showed up for us, so we offered everyone onboard complimentary tickets to try again for free!
We sailed out in beautiful calm seas and the sun had just come up as we entered the bay. Just 10 minutes into the tour we had already found our familiar humpback whale, Banana! After a little loop around the area, we returned to find a second humpback whale and even saw a cheeky grey seal! All in all, a great winter afternoon in Reykjavík with its wonderful wildlife.
Today we had a flat sea and clouds covering most of the sky. After about 2 minutes of leaving the harbour, we spotted our first humpback whale! We saw it lunge feed multiple times and it even came up close to our boat. As we moved on, we found another humpback whale close to Engey island and we even spotted about 5 harbour seals along the way.
The forecast was promising, and while it was cloudy, there were gaps in the sky. We could see the some northern lights, through the clouds, but they were faint, so we decided to issue complimentary tickets in hopes to see everyone another night!
We had wonderful conditions for auroras this evening - high activity and perfectly clear skies. We sailed past the islands and away from the city lights. Sadly, the auroras never showed themselves, so we issued complimentary tickets to all our guests.
The day was cold, but absolutely gorgeous as we sail out to look for whales in Faxaflói bay. After a while going in between the islands, we found a big blow from a humpback whale, very gently coming up to breathe. Then a bit further away, another humpback whale came up to the surface. We also had about 3 grey seals that were curious looking at our vessel.
The sky was clear and the northern lights were out as we left the harbour. We enjoyed amazing sights of green and purple curtains and loops over the mountains. Everyone got wonderful pictures and stories to tell and at least one cup of hot chocolate!
With both the moon and sun shining, we bundled up on this chilly afternoon and set sail. Soon, we spotted the blow of 1 humpback whale! As we waited for it to resurface, 3 grey seals popped up around the boat. Shortly after, we spotted another 2 humpback whales; Banana and Radar. They seemed very curious as they surfaced right in front of us!
This evening, we bundled up, grabbed a hot chocolate and headed out. Right away the northern lights started to appear! They even started dancing, shimmering as they moved back and forth in the sky above. What a perfect way to start 2026!
2026 started out with a great tour. Just a few minutes outside of the harbour we spotted 2 humpback whales. We spent some time with them as they showed nice fluke dives close to our boat - one even decided to breach. We then went out onto the calm bay and found 2 grey seals and a small pod of 3 harbour porpoises before heading back home to the harbour.
