In the morning we enjoyed calm seas, sunshine, and were joined by lots of gannets and puffins! Then, we found a friendly minke whale surfacing beautifully. In the afternoon we encountered 3 minke whales, and eventually had a wonderful encounter with a friendly humpback whale known as Aang in our ID catalogues, showing its fluke before heading back to land.
In the morning we encountered feeding minke whales, playful white-beaked dolphins and had a close encounter with a friendly humpback whale we know as Mr. Bubbles! In the afternoon we spotted another minke whale, a large pod of 25+ white-beaked dolphins, and more beautiful views of Mr. Bubbles the humpback whale in very shallow waters near Reykjavík.
Today we found a humpback whale and a minke whale surfacing sporadically. One of them breached once before we found 4 pods of 6-9 white-beaked dolphins each! In the afternoon we quickly spotted a couple of minke whales and then we saw 10 white-beaked dolphins and a humpback whale. We then saw two more pods of 14 white-beaked dolphins!
We sailed out in a chilly breeze and gorgeous sunshine. After about an hour, we found a humpback whale - we even spotted a few blows in the distance! Eventually we encountered 2-4 harbour porpoises and a minke whale on our way home. In the afternoon we hit the jackpot! In all, we had about 4 humpback whales and about 6 different minke whales!
In the morning we had a bit of swell and wind, but soon found 2 harbour porpoises and then a humpback whale! On the way back we even saw a minke whale! In the afternoon we searched for some time before a minke whale appeared! Then, we encountered 4 harbour porpoises but since the sightings were quite short lived, we issued complimentary tickets.
This morning, the sun was shining warm in our faces, although the wind was quite cold! In total we saw 5 minke whales and 3 humpback whales on our journey! In the afternoon we spotted a tricky harbour porpoise and many atlantic puffins. We also found a minke whale, but since the encounter didn't last long, we decided to give out complimentary tickets.
This morning, it didn't take us too long to spot a blow in the distance - then one after another! Soon we had seen 5 humpback whales! In the afternoon we spotted 1 minke whale in a distance, but it was moving very fast. We then saw a blow in the distance - it turned out to be 3 humpback whales, very active and we managed to spent a good amount of time with them!

We sailed out with high hopes as the forecast was promising. Soon enough, the sky transformed from an orange sunset to a darker blue. We began to clearly see the northern lights shapeshift in the night sky! Such a magical way to finish the season!

No (Fin) Whaling in 2025
We’re pleased to share that there will be no fin whale hunting in Iceland this year, as it is not considered economically viable. While this is a welcome development, it reflects financial challenges rather than a shift in mindset. We will continue to advocate for the protection of Iceland’s marine life, which we believe holds far greater value when left undisturbed.
