All whale watching tours from Reykjavík have been cancelled due to unfavourable conditions in the bay!
Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we have decided to cancel the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!
We were hopeful with the forecast for this evening. We made a quick stop at the Imagine Peace Tower where we found 2 humpback whales! Soon after we saw faint green northern lights but due to the quality we ended up issuing complimentary tickets.
We were enjoying the beautiful sunrise this morning when a minke whale suddenly popped up. Shortly after, we spotted the blow of a couple of humpback whales! We were then surprised by another solitary minke whale! In the afternoon we again found a minke whale and 2-4 humpback whales, some of which were feeding. What a great way to end a wonderful afternoon close to shore!
The morning started cold, with a bit of sunshine. We soon found a lone minke whale near the harbour and then 2 humpback whales between the islands - one of them even breached twice! In the afternoon we again found the 2 humpback whales. We could even see their white pectoral fins under the surface. On the way back we spotted two harbour porpoises.
We started the tour off with strong northern lights overhead! The snow beautifully reflected enough light for us to be able to enjoy the mountainy landscape, together with the city lights and the Imagine Peace Tower until we headed back home.

Everything was covered in snow as we left the harbour this morning. We found a minke whale and managed to see it surface a few times. In the afternoon the weather was still a challenge with thick snowfall, so the visibility was quite low and no wildlife was seen during the tour. Despite our best efforts, both tours offered complimentary tickets for another try.

This morning was a cold and slightly snowy start, making the scenery even more picturesque with rainbows! As soon as we left the harbour, we spotted the 2 humpback whales that have been around the islands for the last week. We also saw a curious harbour seal! In the afternoon we again found the humpback whales since the morning and spent a good while with them.
