This morning, we sailed out in a bit of wind to see what we could find. We spotted a grey seal and some seabirds, and some nice rainbows coming through the clouds, but unfortunately no whales were spotted and we gave out complimentary tickets. In the afternoon, the visibility had increased a bit and we searched again for some larger wildlife, but again we were unlucky so we gave complimentary tickets out for our passengers to try again.

In the morning, we sailed out with a bit of snow but the sun came out soon after. We sailed around the bay looking for wildlife, but unfortunately didn't find anything and we gave out complimentary tickets. In the afternoon, we had a similar mix of sun and snowy conditions, and after a good search, we found a humpback whale! It was Banana, one of our regulars. We also spotted 4-5 grey seals who were very inquisitive. A great way to end the day.

The sky was mostly clear as we headed out, first for a nice cruise around the islands to see if we can spot any aurora. The stars were shining, and with our cameras, we could spot a faint glow, but nothing with the naked eye. So we offered complimentary tickets to our guests for the chance to try again.

We left the harbour with a wintry mix on our morning tour, but the skies soon cleared and before long we found a humpback whale. We had very calm seas and we could even hear their breath. In our afternoon tour, the sun shined bright, and again found a humpback whale not far from land! It was banana, one of our favourite regulars to see! A great day in Faxaflói bay!

We left the harbour with some wintry showers, but gaps started to appear in the clouds. After some time, a faint green haze was detected with our cameras, but difficult to see with the naked eye. We also spotted a humpback whale with the light of the full moon - a nice surprise! Since we didn't get a good show of the northern lights, we gave our passengers complimentary tickets for the chance to try again.

With a brisk breeze, we set out on our morning tour to see what we could find in the bay. We spent some time around the islands, admiring all the winter birdlife, before heading further out in the bay to search for cetaceans. Unfortunately, we were not lucky this time, and we handed out complimentary tickets to our passengers. In the afternoon, the increasing wind meant we cancelled our tour for the safety and comfort of our passengers.

Another cold morning at sea, and we headed out in search of wildlife. Close to the island of Viðey, we spotted a humpback whale feeding. In the afternoon, the wind had picked up a bit but we had blue skies and were excited to see what was in store for us. We first spotted a grey seal close to Lundey, before seeing our resident friend Banana, a humpback whale. We could even see their whole body through the clear water, a brilliant afternoon at sea.

Another calm and clear night, with a kp index forecast of 3/9. We headed out towards Esja, to find some shelter from the wind, and warmed up with hot chocolate as we waited for the northern lights. We had a very brief glimpse of them before they stopped again, and we decided to give our passengers complimentary tickets to try again for a better showing!
