The whole bay just had that peaceful winter vibe, and we couldn't wait to see what the ocean had in store for us. We soon saw a humpback whale, but this one was a bit of a lazy swimmer. Then, we spotted a couple more humpback whales feeding together! Seeing them so close, working in sync, was incredible! It was such a perfect afternoon.
Today was the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, and we were determined to make the most of the little daylight we had by seeing some wildlife! We soon spotted our first humpback whale, feeding - at one point we could see its whole body through the water. We then spotted 2 more humpback whales swimming together!
After about an hour of waiting we only had the Imagine Peace Tower as a light to took at. But then the northern lights started to come through. They were quite weak to begin with but then started to shine really bright between the clouds!
Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we have decided to CANCEL the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!
Today’s whale watching adventure saw a humpback whale near Lundey island. We hung out with it while it was feeding, and though it took a while to fluke, the excitement on board was contagious once it did! Mount Esja looked stunning, all snowy and picturesque, and to top it off, we had Christmas tunes playing throughout the tour!
It was quite a windy day today. After sailing past Viðey island, we spotted a blow from our first of 3 humpback whales! We also saw 2 grey seals in this area too. The other pair of whales we saw would surface very regularly, meaning we always got a great look at them as they dove. We all made sure to warm up inside on our way home!
Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we have decided to CANCEL the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!
Tonight was a rollercoaster of anticipation and surprises! As the night unfolded, the aurora was a bit shy, so we issued complimentary tickets for a future trip. Then, a pair of humpback whales were seen feeding together in the night!
We were lucky once again, to quickly see a blow and splash so close to land. We had found ourselves a humpback whale that was constantly chasing fish around and lunge feeding! We then saw another 2 humpback whales, chilling next to Viðey island. Soon they all did fluke dives and our time with the whales came to an end!
