Under the starry morning sky, we set sail and soon found about 4 solitary humpback whales and even 2 minke whales popping up periodically. In the afternoon we spotted 2 harbour porpoises and about 3 solo humpback whales. One was surfacing sporadically so we focused our attention on another individual who was easier to follow, and even came quite close!

We set out of the harbour in the dark and we started our search around the islands just as the sun was rising. We soon found our friendly humpback whale Banana. On our way back we found a minke whale and 2 harbour porpoises. In the afternoon we again found the humpback whale again, this tim it was taking shallow dives and came up not far from us.

We sailed out with cloudy skies so we enjoyed beautiful Reykjavik skyline and the Imagine Peace Tower. All of a sudden, the clouds lifted and the night sky became visible and the northern lights came out! A great testament to our perseverance.

First we admired the city lights and the Imagine Peace Tower, and then went looking for the gaps in the clouds. We waited and even saw some stars, but unfortunately, saw no lights and therefore issued complimentary tickets to all our passengers.
We found a logging humpback whale just 5 minutes outside the harbour this morning. We saw its white pectoral fins and blowhole and watched it's beautiful fluke when it dove. In the afternoon, we again found the same humpback whale which had woken up from its slumber and was now travelling the area. We also encountered an elusive minke whale.

The day started with a dramatic sunrise and the sea was calm as a lake and it didn't take long before we found a humpback whale! We went around the islands to seek more but all we found was a fast harbour seal. In the afternoon we again found the sleepy humpback whale from this morning. We also spotted a minke whale, swimming very frantically!
This morning we were greeted by a beautiful sunrise and quite quickly we found a resting humpback whale and then a big minke whale which we managed to spend a good while with. In the afternoon we found the humpback whale from the morning tour within 15 minutes. We got to see it log on the surface and dive a few times before it was time to head back home.

The northern lights were out already as we left the harbour and we were able to enjoy them during the whole tour. Sometimes as bright ribbons above the mountains and sometimes just as fade green haze in the sky, but always amazing.
We had such an amazing start to the day, the moon was still glowing and the sky was orange and pink. We spotted a minke whale within the first 15 minutes and then a humpback whale appeared. This afternoon the skies were clear and we found an elusive minke whale as well as the humpback whale "Banana" in the same spot, still resting from this morning.

With clear skies, we bundled up with some hot chocolate and admired the Imagine Peace Tower. Soon we spotted faint northern lights that exploded in green, red and purple towards the end of the tour - so we stayed a little longer to enjoy their dance.

We sailed out into calm windless seas, partially cloudy skies and could already make out northern lights above the city. After a while, they appeared in full force. One band soon turned into many and suddenly the sky was filled with bright, dancing lights.
We set sails into a gloomy bay, but luckily the seas were calm and we got to enjoy beautiful sunrise during the tour. We ended up finding a sleepy humpback whale and a glimpse of a shy minke whale. In the afternoon we started with the minke whale, followed by the logging humpback whale. We could see it very close up, and its beautiful pectoral fins under the surface.
Right after sailing near Viðey island, we spotted a logging humpback whale! We also found a pod of 10 white-beaked dolphins with about 3 calves amongst them. In the afternoon, we first spotted a sneaky minke whale next to Engey island, and then the humpback whale from the morning close by - we could even see its pectoral fins and rostrum under the surface!
