We sailed out with perfectly clear skies and made a quick stop at the Imagine Peace Tower. After a long wait, the northern lights finally appeared, however, they were quick to disappear.. Therefore we issued complimentary tickets!
This morning, after some searching, we spotted a humpback whale that showed us its fluke a few times before we had to head back. In the afternoon, we encountered several minke whales, one coming close to the bow, and later found a humpback whale giving us beautiful fluke dives. It was a magical day filled with wonderful sightings!
We already saw northern lights in the harbour! There was a big green band out on our port side, and it stayed with us during the duration of the tour. We also managed to see the Imagine Peace Tower shining brightly on Viðey island.
We spotted 3 humpback whales this morning, one peduncle throwing, followed by a trio of minke whales surfacing close to the boat, and a playful pod of 7-8 white-beaked dolphins. In the afternoon, we saw a curious minke whale and later, a humpback whale feeding and playfully swimming beneath the boat. An unforgettable day!
In the morning, we spotted a solo humpback whale showing off its fluke, followed by a another pair swimming side by side, with one even rolling to reveal part of its fluke. In the afternoon, we encountered 4 humpback whales, fluke diving beautifully, and a playful pod of 8-10 white-beaked dolphins, ending our day on a high note!
We had some wonderful northern lights this evening! The skies were completely clear and the Kp index was high. After a bit of sailing we saw the auroras light up the night sky behind mt. Esja and dancing above us.
This morning, we spotted 2 minke whales right outside the harbor, followed by a trio of playful humpback whales rolling and displaying a peduncle throw. In the afternoon, we encountered the same 3 humpback whales, performing pectoral slaps, peduncle throws, and fluke dives right by our boat. It was an unforgettable day!
We could already see faint green, red and purple northern lights as we sailed out of the harbour and they became much stronger during the tour. We got a good look at the Imagine Peace Tower where a happy couple got engaged!
As soon as we left the marina and the city lights behind us, the skies cleared up and we were already witnessing northern lights! They stayed up for most of the trip, at times faint but then coming back strong again, even displaying some pinkish hues!
In the morning, we encountered two pairs of humpback whales, one of which came close, with one lunge feeding and the other snaking, while the second pair gave us beautiful fluke dives. In the afternoon, we spotted another pair of humpbacks, following them at a distance as they fluked and surfaced near our boat before heading back home.
