We journeyed out into Faxafloi with every seat filled, stopping at one of our preferred destinations to scout the area. After a short pause, our captain saw the blow of a humpback whale within 500 metres, but we soon discovered that in fact it was two individuals and appeared to be the pair from yesterday.
It was a group of 3 white beaked dolphins that came at us two times but then was playing a bit hard to get. We then saw another 2 humpback whales that were quite close. One of those humpbacks started peduncle slapping, tail-slapping and lobe slapping. We admire the show and started coming back to Reykjavik. We stopped when we found 2 minke whales!

As whale watching in Iceland continues to grow, so does the need for ethical practices that protect marine life. At Elding, we follow a strict code of conduct and have developed our own enhanced guidelines to ensure safe, respectful encounters with whales. In a country with few formal regulations, we lead by example to promote sustainable, science based whale watching for the future.
