It was another beautiful morning as we left the harbour. Not too far out, we spotted the blows of the 2 humpback whales, close to Viðey island. They were busy feeding amongst several harbour seals and grey seals. The wind picked up in the afternoon, but we returned to the same area as this morning and found our humpback whales and seals again!

We sailed into the bay under a dark sky with the stars shining through the clouds. The northern lights appeared after a short while - at first a streak in the sky, before transforming into beautiful arches and curtains. A beautiful evening at sea!

It was cold but the sea was smooth. Only 15 minutes into the morning tour we had already spotted 2 humpback whales, before seeing a few grey seals and about a 2 pods of 10 harbour porpoises. In the afternoon we again encountered our resident humpback whales, around 15-20 harbour porpoises and a pod of 5 white-beaked dolphins (including one calf)!

It was a cold an windy, but beautiful morning as we went out. We spotted 2 humpback whales swimming close and parallel to the boat, giving us a good impression of their massive size. In the afternoon we found our favourite pair of humpback whales again. They were surrounded by many seabirds and at least 6 grey seals feasting on the same buffet.

We went out with a good forecast and it didn't disappoint - as soon as the tour departed, we immediately saw a big arch of northern lights across the sky. It stayed above mt. Esja for the whole tour, one time it looked like a little tornado even!

Our Valentine's day tour started with clear skies and high hopes! As soon as we left the harbour we saw the northern lights dancing in the night sky, creating amazing arches so that everyone could see and take as many pictures as possible!

On this cold and beautiful Valentine's Day, we sailed out when the sun was rising behind the mountains. The wind was strong, but we put on our thermal overalls and soon encountered 6 grey seals and 2 humpback whales feeding together! In the afternoon we again found the 2 humpback whales, 10 harbour porpoises and at least 5 grey seals swimming with them.

It didn't take long until we spotted 2 humpback whales and they were not alone - there were at least 15 grey and harbour seals around us, super curious, swimming and probably feeding too. Suddenly, the whales started to breach! In the afternoon we again saw the 2 humpback whales, along with grey and harbour seals and even 2 pods of harbour porpoises!

We had incredible weather conditions tonight with flat seas, no wind and clear skies. We could already see northern lights as we were sailing out of the harbour and they just kept getting more intense throughout the night. It was incredible!

We started our morning with a cold breeze but sunny skies! As we sailed into the bay we soon came across our resident humpback whales, swimming gently and occasionally showing their fluke in between short dives. In the afternoon we again found our 2 humpback whales, feeding between the Viðey islands amongst birds and at least 2 harbour seals and 3 grey seals!

Tonight we sailed in calm seas under beautiful skies. As we sailed into the darkness we started seeing faint northern lights that soon grew into an arch. They changed in intensity during the night from lighter to stronger but their presence was steady.

As we came out of the harbour we could see the northern lights in the sky waiting for us! The forecast predicted a Kp 1/9, which goes to show that Mother Nature is truly unpredictable. We saw much movement, many arches and colours!

It was a cold morning with flat seas and a beautiful sunrise. Soon we found our 2 humpback whales, Banana and Split, who treated us to 3 peduncle throws! As we approached the area, we also saw 4 grey seals. In the afternoon, we sailed around the islands and saw lots of grey seals before we found our 2 humpback whales again! We also encountered a rare common dolphin!

With a Kp index of 2/9, the northern lights were already visible as we left the harbour! As we sailed away from the city, they exploded and bursted into a corona right above us! We saw wonderful colours in many shapes in the starry sky tonight!
