• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We sailed out with a favourable aurora forecast and many gaps in the sky - we could even see Orion's belt and Jupiter! Unfortunately however, the northern lights didn't come out tonight, so we gave our guests complimentary tickets, for another try.

We had quite a bit of wind and swell today which gave our passengers the true Icelandic experience! After a while, we spotted a pod of around 4-5 harbour porpoises! Soon after, we saw what we came for - a pair of humpback whales that surfaced next to us many times! In between surface sequences, we also spotted a harbour seal near the whales.

On this unusually warm Christmas Day, we sailed out of the harbour with some rain and soon found our favourite pair of humpback whales; Banana and Radar. They kept us on our toes as they followed the fish in all directions and while we were watching them, a grey seal popped its head up right next to our boat. We then also found a third humpback whale!

Merry Christmas! With a bit of a drizzle and consistent wind, we layered up and headed out into the bay. We soon got word that 2 humpback whales were in the area, so we headed over! It was the same pair that have been hanging around the islands for the last month or two. We were able to watch them for a while and they treated us to many close fluke dives!

We went out into the bay in strong winds and quite some rain. We came across a grey seal and a harbor seal the were chasing fish in the bay, and plenty of seabirds joined their feast. There were even some harbor porpoises and around 3 white-beaked dolphins further out. Sadly, no other cetacean were seen, so we issued complimentary tickets to all our guests.

We went out in typical Icelandic winter weather; strong winds from SE, heavy clouds and some rain. Not too far out however, we saw the blows of 2 humpback whales that were traveling into the bay to feed. We were able to spend some time with them. At one point they passed by us really close, mere meters away. Despite the weather, it was a great tour!

This evening we had good luck on our side. As we went out, the cloud cover had some great gaps in it so we were able to see the stars. Soon enough, a ribbon of northern lights spread out across the sky, changing from green to purple and even blue!

Today was winter solstice, the shortest day of the year - and we spent it whale watching! We started our search around Lundey island, but soon heard from another boat that that there was life much closer to home! We sailed back towards Engey island where we found our resident pair of humpback whales; Banana and Radar, still feeding and keeping us on our toes.

The wind was blowing, it was raining and the visibility was not the best. We eventually did come across 2 harbour seals bottling at the surface close to the boat, and then we found 2 humpback whales swimming side by side. They were diving for almost exactly 4 minutes before coming back up to the surface, rewarding us with good sightings!
