We went behind the islands close to Reykjavík to see if the 2 humpback whales from the last days were still there. Luckily, they were! One was frequently lunge feeding showing us its big rostrum and filled mouth and after feeding a bit, it seemed like one of them took a break to poop, right in front of us! We then spotted 2-3 grey seals and 2-3 harbour porpoises as well!

The sea was calm with some eastern wind. The same humpback whales from last few days were still there swimming and feeding separately. We stayed for about half an hour with each of them. One of them was very unpredictable, changing directions very often and the other one went for short 4-5 minutes dives, but showing its beautiful fluke!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We went near Esja and patiently waited while listening to rock classics from the 60s, but unfortunately no lights appeared. We went back to the harbour and gave our passengers complimentary tickets. Hopefully next time we will be luckier!

The first tour of 2024 was quite a success! Just after leaving the harbour we saw a big blow from a humpback whale. Whilst this sighting was going on and throughout the rest of the tour we saw many grey seals. We then moved around the coastline and found another humpback whale close to Reykjavik and on the way back we found 3 quick moving harbour porpoises!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

This evening we were hopeful due to the promising forecast! We could see stars and a green hue through the cameras. Our patience was really tested but also rewarded, as we could see beautiful northern lights through gaps in the clouds!

We sailed into the bay one last time in 2023. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the sea was calm. We soon spotted a grey seal swimming by and a few moments later we also saw a couple of harbour porpoises. Soon we spotted a big blow in the distance which turned out to be 2 humpback whales which we got a good look at. What a great way to end the year!

• NEW YEAR'S EVE FIREWORK CRUISE | 22:30

A typical Icelandic-style New Year's Eve is filled with bonfires, parties, and spectacular fireworks! Join us for an unforgettable evening, where the magic of traditional festivities meet the awe-inspiring beauty of the bay.

Right when we left the harbour, we spotted a pod of 3 harbour porpoises passing by. We went to the same area as the previous days - and bingo - it was a humpback whale beautifully going for a deep dive. Before we even went to go to explore other areas, it did a full body breach! We then got to see a pod of 10 white-beaked dolphins, travelling quite calmly.

We sailed out tonight, seeing stars, which is always a good sign! We waited for a while but sadly there was no lights seen. We sailed past the Imagine Peace Tower and saw fireworks above the city. In the end we handed out complimentary tickets.

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We sailed out with a good forecast and we could see green lights through our cameras which was exciting. At times the light did also become visible to the naked eye, however this was quite faint, so we gave out complimentary tickets.

We went out in the same area as yesterday near Lundey and found a humpback whale still seemed quite relaxed going for frequent surfaces near by and showing its tail. We then spotted a few harbour porpoises that popped in front of us and a large group of 30 white-beaked dolphins that was calmly swimming. We then came back to the humpback to have a last look!

It was a cold, windy and snowy afternoon. Before we knew it we had found the humpback whale from yesterday close to land. We got to see this individual do many fluke dives and arched backs as it surfaced very often. Each dive was quick meaning we got lots of views. After seeing the humpback for an extended time, we decided to move on into the bay.

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

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

Not sure if we were very lucky or the intuition of the captain hit the spot, but not even 20 min. into the tour, we saw a blow not far from us - we had a humpback whale close! The clouds around us were snowy and the sky presented a very pink colour. Even the moon above Esja mountain was incredible, which made us amazed by the views during the rest of the tour.
