The Kp index forecast changed from 1 to 3, so we just needed to be patient as we started seeing gaps in the sky. After 2 hours of searching however, we issued complimentary tickets to our patient passengers, so they could try again another night!

All whale watching tours from Reykjavík have been cancelled due to unfavorable conditions in the bay!
We sailed out as the sun was rising over the horizon. We soon found 2 very sleepy humpback whales before also seeing 2 harbour seals. In the afternoon, we quickly spotted the same pair of humpback whales, but this time they were feeding and we could smell their fishy breath. We got to see one of them do peduncle throws before spotting 3 harbour porpoises!

Tonight we are expecting an aurora activity of 3/9, S-W 1m/s and -6°C. The moon is at first quarter and 52% illuminated. Clear skies are forecast in the area.
It was cold as we sailed out this morning, but we suited up with overalls and hot drinks. We soon found our 2 humpback whales near Viðey island, as well as a cute harbour seal and 3 speedy harbour porpoises! In the afternoon, the winds were still blowing strong, but luckily we didn't have to sail far before we found the 2 humpback whales from the morning again!
We sailed out with the first light of day into slightly choppy seas and a decent wind. We got lucky in our search as not too long in, we found our pair of humpback whales. In the afternoon, we didn't have to go far, before we found our 2 humpback whales again. We watched them logging, feeding and traveling and got to see their beautiful flukes as they dove!

We hadn't sailed out of the harbour when we first saw the northern lights! There were multiple arches appearing in the night sky, even crossing the beam of the Imagine Peace Tower. They started to dance and became very intense in colour.

Tonight was a night to remember! As soon as we left the harbour we could see the northern lights that soon covered the entire sky. We saw green, purple and even red - and were even treated to an amazing corona that formed directly above us!
We went out before sunrise, but the lit skyline of Reykjavík made it cozy. We soon saw 2 feeding humpback whales, one of whom was Banana! In the afternoon we found the 2 humpback whales again after about 15 minutes. They were fluke diving and surfacing every 5 minutes or so, pretty much at the same time. It was incredible to witness from up close!
This morning we experienced light rain that stayed with us until sunrise. After going around Viðey island, we spotted 2 humpback whales. The sea was so calm that we could see the details of their bodies underneath the surface! In the afternoon we again found the 2 humpback whales from the morning - one of them has been here for almost a month; Banana!

We sailed out with a Kp index of 4/9 and some heavy clouds rolling in from the south. Patience was an important factor on this evening's cruise, but we were eventually rewarded with incredible northern lights through gaps in the clouds!

The clouds were quite gappy the moment we sailed out and combined with a good solar activity we were excite about the evening. Unfortunately however we never managed to find any auroras, so we handed out complimentary tickets to all passengers.
We had a wonderful sunrise over Reykjavik as we sailed out this morning. We found 2 humpback whales close to Lundey island and as we sailed towards Hvalfjörður, we spotted 2 pods of 3-10 harbour porpoises. In the afternoon we again found the same 2 humpback whales as before. They came incredibly close to us, surfacing right at our front - incredible!
