Under the pink skies of the rising sun, we saw the blow of a humpback whale. This individual was quite curious and surfaced close to us! After a while it even started to move its pectoral fins and treated us to that wonderful fluke dive! In the afternoon we saw a humpback whale. After multiple surfacing sequences, we were treated to a fluke dive under the sunset!
Due to unfavorable weather conditions, we have decided to cancel the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!
We stopped by the Imagine Peace Tower and got some nice views of Reykjavík in the beautiful conditions. While there were some faint northern lights seen, we decided to issue complimentary tickets so our guests could enjoy them in all their glory.
We sailed out into a bumpy bay in wet snowfall. Due to the conditions, we decided to sail around the islands, and finally saw a minke whale and suddenly a humpback whale! In the afternoon, we had very similar weather, this time a bit more rainy, but that didn't stop us from exploring the bay. We soon found a minke whale, as well as the humpback whale from before!
The forecast was promising and as we headed out into the bay we saw faint northern lights that got a little bit stronger before disappearing completely. Unfortunately they did not return, so we issued complimentary tickets to all our guests.
We sailed out into a calm bay and stumbled upon 10-15 white-beaked dolphins. We also saw two humpback whales! In the afternoon we saw a blow near the islands close to Reykjavík - it was from our friend, Banana the humpback whale! As we made our way further into the bay we found a second humpback whale, feeding - and we even got a glimpse of a grey seal!
The sky was clear and full of stars. As we sailed along the coast we we were able to pick up a faint northern lights with our cameras, but as they didn't really show up until our return to the harbour, we issued complimentary tickets to all our passengers.
With light rain, we sailed out this morning and soon we encountered a logging humpback whale! We also found about 3-5 harbour porpoises as well as a minke whale on the horizon! In the afternoon we encountered a pod of 3 harbour porpoises and about 3 humpback whales, all of them showing us their flukes. Then, a minke whale popped up at the harbour entrance!
Under the starry morning sky, we set sail and soon found about 4 solitary humpback whales and even 2 minke whales popping up periodically. In the afternoon we spotted 2 harbour porpoises and about 3 solo humpback whales. One was surfacing sporadically so we focused our attention on another individual who was easier to follow, and even came quite close!
