Whale Diary
Today we enjoyed calm to smooth seas with sightings of all four common species - minke whales, harbour porpoises, white-beaked dolphins and multiple humpback whales. We were treated to feeding frenzies with bubble-netting, lunge feeding, and even spectacular breaches, tail slaps and pec slaps. A truly lively day in the bay with close encounters!

Today we were treated to wonderful conditions in Faxaflói bay, with calm seas, clear skies and excellent visibility. Across the tours we saw large groups of harbour porpoises, many minke whales, very playful white-beaked dolphins and several humpback whales, some even breaching out of the water. Another amazing day in fantastic Reykjavík!

Naturalist Training at Aurora Reykjavík
At the start of every Northern Lights season, our naturalists come together for a refresher in all things aurora. This year we were lucky enough to be welcomed by Aurora Reykjavik, where both new and experienced guides got fresh insights and a deeper understanding of this incredible natural phenomenon!

We headed out with a good forecast, but the auroras struggled to break through the clouds. They only appeared faintly from time to time, so we issued complimentary tickets to give our guests another chance to enjoy them another night.

Today we enjoyed calm seas and sunny skies with great sightings of minke whales, some even curiously circling the boat. We were also treated to views of harbour porpoises and soaring seabirds along the coast. The afternoon brought more minke whale encounters before unfavourable weather conditions forced us to cancel the last tour of the day.

Crew Training During Rough Weather
Rough weather earlier this week meant we had to cancel some of our tours, so we used the time for a training exercise with the MOB boat on Eldey. Everyone available got the chance to take part, learning how to operate the boat safely and effectively in case of emergency.

The weather conditions were nice, and we had a beautiful view of the moon and stars. However, after almost 2 hours of search, we had no luck. All our guests were offered complimentary tickets for a change to experience the auroras another time.
