• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We sailed out with cloudy skies, and a fresh Icelandic breeze. We stopped by the Imagine Peace Tower on our way into the bay, and after waiting quite a while, our patience was rewarded with beautiful green northern lights across the whole sky.

We sailed out into a typical cold Icelandic night. First we made a stop at the Imagine Peace Tower, before moving on to see if we could find a gap in the clouds. After a good while waiting, we were rewarded with bright and dancing northern lights!

The weather was great as we sailed this morning and we soon found a pod of around 8 playful white-beaked dolphins as well as a humpback whale in the distance and a little harbour porpoise. In the afternoon we suddenly we saw 6 harbour porpoises popping up in formation. We continued our journey and as we were about to give up we found a sleepy humpback whale!

We made our way into the bay, sailing past the shoreline to admire the beautiful skyline of Reykjavík and the impressive beam of the Imagine Peace Tower on Viðey island. After a while waiting patiently, we finally saw the beauty of the northern lights!

This morning we found a feeding minke whale, 12-15 harbour porpoises and as we headed back home we found 20-30 white-beaked dolphins and a pair of humpback whales! A true Faxaflói BINGO! In the afternoon we found 2 humpback Whales within 5 minutes. We also stumbled upon a tricky minke whale as we admired Reykjavik's skyline in the sunset.

We were quite eager to sail out as the forecast looked quite promising. The moon was (nearly) full and it had a halo around it, and while we did see very faint northern lights, the clouds were hiding them, so we issued complimentary tickets in the end.

This morning we passed by Viðey island where we found 2 harbour seals before finding the 2 humpback whales from the previous day. The afternoon was calm and again we found the 2 humpback whales side by side and one of them even started to breach, at least 6x, before rolling and doing pec slaps! Meanwhile a sneaky minke whale swam by. What a show!

We had a forecasted KP index 2/9, which is quite nice for our area. We sailed into the darkness as we waited for the sky to clear, and saw the glow of the Imagine Peace Tower, but unfortunately no auroras, so we issued complimentary tickets.

As the moon set on our left and the sun rose on our right, we set sail this morning and not too long we spotted the blows of 2 relaxed humpback whales! In the afternoon, we again found the 2 humpback whales! One individual started off with a powerful tail slap. We also found one minke whale nearby! It was great to be able to see both species in the same area.

This evening, we had partly cloudy skies but managed to see very faint northern lights above the mountains as we were heading home. Due to the short-lived and faint lights, we of course gave our passengers complimentary tickets to come again!

We sailed out in beautiful weather this morning. Not far from the harbour we spotted 3 humpback whales, one of them we know as "Birdie". The afternoon was also beautifully calm, with perfect blue skies and mirror like seas. We soon found a pair of humpback whales again whom swam side by side for the whole encounter. We also found a minke whale on our way home.

The northern lights were out even before the boat left the harbour, and they continued to shine bright for us throughout the tour. They were intense and dancing above mt. Esja as we stopped to admire the Imagine Peace Tower on our way home!

We sailed towards Engey this morning where we spotted a feeding humpback whale! This individual was very relaxed at the surface and gave us really nice fluke dives. The wind had picked up in the afternoon but right out the harbour, we spotted a feeding minke whale and a pair of humpback whales, before eventually spotting a tiny little harbour seal!

Right as we left the harbour, we spotted very strong northern lights appearing over mt. Esja. As we made our way closer, they started expanding! We had mostly green, with even a little red! After a while, they started crossing over the Imagine Peace Tower.
