This morning we spotted a pair of minke whales and soon after a humpback whale swam up to our boat. As we continued, 2 more minke whales passed us and we were delighted to see another 2 humpback whales, soon joined by a third, while another minke whale surfaced in the distance! Rest of the day was cancelled due to weather.
Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we have decided to CANCEL the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!

We stumbled upon no less than 3 humpback whales swimming right towards us and one even did a peduncle throw just meters away from our boat! As a cherry on top, we also saw 2 minke whales pass by. In the afternoon we eventually encountered 2 humpback whales and ended the day with a stunning rainbow arched over mt. Esja.
In the morning, we spotted 2-3 harbour porpoises and a humpback whale giving us two fluke dives before we encountered 3-4 minke whales, one surfacing close by. We later found a second and third humpback before returning to the fog. The afternoon brought another resting humpback whale and at least 6 minke whales!
Before we knew it we could see northern lights to our front. They only last a couple minutes before coming back just as we started to lose hope. Then for the next hour we could constantly see bright lights in the night sky.
This morning, we quickly spotted 3 minke whales, followed by 3 harbour porpoises, and 6 playful white-beaked dolphins. We then encountered 4 humpback whales, making it a full-house tour! In the afternoon, the same 4 humpbacks reappeared, including familiar faces Pep and Neila, treating us to fluke dives and a wonderful farewell.
Today we encountered 8-10 minke whales, some surfacing close to the boat, followed by a pair of humpback whales giving us majestic fluke dives. The afternoon brought more minke whales and a group of harbour porpoises feeding. The highlight was finding 3 humpback whales, including Davy Jones II, swimming together.
Tonight, we sailed out under clear skies and calm waters. Soon, faint northern lights began to shimmer in the sky. As we drifted further from the the city, the auroras grew stronger, and formed beautiful arches dancing overhead.
