While the aurora didn’t make an appearance tonight, we were treated to an unexpected delight - a humpback whale spotted near one of the islands! We gave out complimentary tickets, hoping for clearer skies next time!

This afternoon we sailed out with two boats and spotted 2 sneaky humpback whales hanging out in the surf by Viðey, but we decided to move on due to the rocky movements. We then found 2 more humpback whales, taking turns watching them - both coming quite close to us on occasion. In total during the tour we saw 4-5 whales!

On this wonderful Christmas Eve we set off on two boats full of excited passengers! We had a whirlwind of a tour with a couple of snow blizzards. We saw up to 15 grey seals and a couple of humpback whales - one was actively feeding, while the other was resting and logging at the surface. We got a great look at both individuals before heading back!

We were joined by a pod of 10 harbour porpoises which followed us for some time as we sailed out. Eventually we saw a total of 3 humpback whales, 2 together and 1 solitary. Having three animals with us, we stayed in the same area for the duration of the tour. They were feeding, and spending lots of time on the surface, giving us many fluke dives.
