This morning, we spotted a shy humpback whale near Viðey island, diving long and far until it surprised us by surfacing close to the boat, showing off its white pectoral fins and fluke. In the afternoon, we returned to the same spot and found the same humpback whale, now logging. We also caught a quick glimpse of a curious harbour seal!

Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we have decided to CANCEL the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!

In the morning, we spotted a small, active humpback whale near Viðey island, starting with rest before feeding and showing off multiple fluke dives. We also encountered a lively pod of 15 white-beaked dolphins, including 3-4 calves, one just days old! In the afternoon, we found a humpback whale near the cruise ship harbour and a curious harbour seal!

The forecast was good and the skies were clear. We did not have to wait long - as we were approaching Esja, the northern lights already showed themselves. At first they were faint but they grew stronger as the tour progressed.

In the morning, we saw the erupting volcano near the Blue Lagoon, but despite searching near Hafnarfjörður and beyond, the whales proved elusive, so we issued complimentary tickets. The afternoon brought better luck as we spotted a juvenile humpback whale. After teasing us with shallow dives, it finally fluked beautifully into the sunset.

The northern lights made us wait for about an hour, but when they showed up against the background of Esja mountain, they were shooting up towards the sky in a beautiful display of green light, and sometimes we could see shades of pink.

Just five minutes in, we saw our first glimpse of the northern lights and the excitement on board was unreal. They kept getting stronger, and before we knew it, the whole sky was glowing. We ended the night with a whole boat full of happy people!

This morning, we were very lucky to have nice calm seas and a beautiful sunrise. We were enjoying amazing views of the newly erupting volcano when a humpback whale breached right in front of us! When it resurfaced, it did so with a friend! In the afternoon the pair were seen lunge feeding and we had an incredible sunset on our way back home!

On the morning tour we sailed out to Hafnarfjörður where we found the 2 humpback whales from yesterday, and on our way home we saw 6 fast travelling harbour porpoises! The afternoon tour had a fantastic view of the eruption and again found the 2 feeding humpback whales near Hafnarfjörður, showing us many fluke dives and pec slaps!

The conditions were perfect and within five minutes, we could already see the northern lights that gradually became stronger! To make the night even better, we spotted Mars and Jupiter shining brightly in the sky.

We spotted 4 adorable seals this cold morning and were treated to a beautiful sight of the latest volcano but unfortunately we saw no cetaceans.. so we issued complimentary tickets to all on board. In the afternoon, our luck turned as we spotted 7 swift harbour porpoises before finding 2 lunge-feeding humpback whales near Hafnarfjörður!

Shortly after leaving the harbour, a strong band of northern lights appeared and was visible and pretty much all night. We saw some green and pink hues and even a red cloud from the latest volcanic eruption on the horizon! What a magical evening.

The morning was chilly, but after about 40 minutes, we spotted a humpback whale! As we waited for it to resurface, we also saw a minke whale nearby. The afternoon started off chilly with some snow falling, and after a while we found a humpback whale and a pod of 4-5 harbour porpoises that popped up briefly, swimming alongside us.

We sailed out full of hope and had our first stop at the Imagine Peace Tower. As we continued into the bay we were able to see Mars and Jupiter clearly, but unfortunately no auroras appeared, so we issued complimentary tickets to all.
