• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Due to unfavorable weather conditions, we have decided to cancel the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!

We went out into the bay in strong winds and quite some rain. We came across a grey seal and a harbor seal the were chasing fish in the bay, and plenty of seabirds joined their feast. There were even some harbor porpoises and around 3 white-beaked dolphins further out. Sadly, no other cetacean were seen, so we issued complimentary tickets to all our guests.

We went out in typical Icelandic winter weather; strong winds from SE, heavy clouds and some rain. Not too far out however, we saw the blows of 2 humpback whales that were traveling into the bay to feed. We were able to spend some time with them. At one point they passed by us really close, mere meters away. Despite the weather, it was a great tour!

This evening we had good luck on our side. As we went out, the cloud cover had some great gaps in it so we were able to see the stars. Soon enough, a ribbon of northern lights spread out across the sky, changing from green to purple and even blue!

Today was winter solstice, the shortest day of the year - and we spent it whale watching! We started our search around Lundey island, but soon heard from another boat that that there was life much closer to home! We sailed back towards Engey island where we found our resident pair of humpback whales; Banana and Radar, still feeding and keeping us on our toes.

The wind was blowing, it was raining and the visibility was not the best. We eventually did come across 2 harbour seals bottling at the surface close to the boat, and then we found 2 humpback whales swimming side by side. They were diving for almost exactly 4 minutes before coming back up to the surface, rewarding us with good sightings!

We sailed out in good conditions and mild winds. As we came around the corner of the island Viðey, we spotted 2 humpback whales! We spent some time with them, as they let us admire their beautiful flukes and how majestic they move through the waters. After a while, we said our fare wells before heading back home. What a beautiful in the bay!

We weren't even properly out of the harbor, when we already saw the northern lights on our left side across the sky. It was two big green arches that molded into one big one and this one stayed with us for almost the whole tour! Great night at sea!

We sailed out into a sunny bay with calm waves this afternoon. It did not take us too long to find our oh so familiar pair of humpback whales; Banana and Radar. They were swimming very calmly, side by side close to the shore of one of the islands. We also spotted the heads of 2 harbour seals nearby, which kept us entertained while the whales were going for short dives.

As we sailed out into the bay this afternoon, we passed by Viðey island and soon found our 2 humpback whales from the past weeks; Banana and Radar! We watched them fluke diving for several times, before we made a little round in the bay. We soon ended back up with the pair and watched them go down for a fluke dive one last time before heading back home.
