Northern Lights Diary
- NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
There were a few clouds as we sailed out, but about halfway through the tour very faint lights started poking through. These lights would then fade and grow throughout the night, but still, we decided to offer our passengers complimentary tickets for a better chance to see them!

As we left the harbour we spotted a large black back that was Flak, the humpback whale and a few harbour porpoises. In the afternoon we sailed out once more to Viðey and found our humpback whale again. Flak did a lunge feed directly in front of our boat and also rolled on its side, showing off its white pectoral fins. We also spotted 3 harbour seals that were resting on the rocks.

With a pastel coloured sky we went out in search of some cetaceans! We found Flak the humpback whale chilling in the shallows of Viðey and after a while we found a minke whale and a pod of 4-5 feeding harbour porpoises. In the afternoon we also found Flak and at the same time we saw a harbour seal bottling and later we found a solo harbour porpoise.

The night was beautiful with bright stars and not so much clouds. We waited maybe an hour before seeing the northern lights starting. First they were very faded and barely visible with the naked eye. We patiently observed and finally saw them becoming much brighter and extending towards the sky.

Within 15-20 minutes we had found Flak the humpback whale. This was combined with an incredible sunrise behind Reykjavik too. In the afternoon, and a very quick sailing, we found Flak the humpback whale still very close Skarfabakki pier, where it was feeding and going for short dives. It was a lovely sighting with an animal that was easy to observe.

It was very windy but with cozy overalls we pulled through the coming storm. Unfortunately the luck wasn't on our side and we didn't see any northern lights dancing. We passed by the Imagine Peace Tower on our way back and then gave out complimentary tickets so our passengers can come back once more.

As soon as we sailed out we had Flak the 'resident' humpback whale very close to the shore of Viðey island! We also saw a minke whale that came very close to the boat and kept on swimming towards the land. In the afternoon the humpback whale was still here and we also found 3 very active minke whales and a lone harbour porpoise.

Unfortunately the high clouds were quite thick and the activity very low. We patiently waited in the bay listening to music and drinking hot drinks but no lights appeared. We gave complimentary tickets to our passengers hoping that next time we will be luckier!

The sea was fairly calm this morning and we sailed to Viðey island to try our luck. We spotted Flak the humpback whale as well as another humpback and at least 7 harbour porpoises. In the afternoon Flak was seen feeding close to shore and even breached before we also spotted a minke whale!

We sailed out with a high hopes due to the very good forecast. As we left the harbour it was a fairly clear sky, we could see stars as well as Jupiter. Unfortunately, we ended up with a sky full of thick clouds and the lights didn't appear. So we offered everyone complimentary tickets. Hopefully the lights reappear tomorrow!

This moody morning we sailed out facing a snow covered majestic Esja. We spotted 1 minke whale and Flak the humpback whale! In the afternoon we also found Flak feeding and although it often changed direction, it always showing its beautiful fluke when it went for a dive.

We made our way towards Viðey island today and much to our delight, our friend FLAK the humpback whale showed up at just the right moment and we later also found some harbour porpoises. This happened on both of our tours today - what a magnificent day in beautiful Reykjavík!

A quiet night, without any wind on our faces so we headed out into the darkness in search of the auroras. The sky looked cloudy but with enough gaps to try to see the lights. Unfortunately no activity was reported so we sailed back to the harbour. Complimentary tickets were offered to our passengers for another try.

The sun hadn't even appeared behind Reykjavik before we saw our first animal. It was a humpback whale! It was the same as yesterday very close to Skarfabakki harbour called Flak and later we also found another two! In the afternoon we found Flak again near Engey. It did stupendous fluke dives near our boat and we got to enjoy an amazing view of the city.
