Today we were battling some winds, so we decided to head towards Hafnarfjörður. We had no success there, so we turned in the opposite direction and went nearly all the way to Hvalfjörður, in order to cover as much area as possible. Again, we were not successful, so we issued complimentary tickets so our passengers could try again.

Tonight we had an amazing forecast and high hopes while sailing out. As we got further into the bay we were met with a thick cloud cover. We ended up issuing complimentary tickets so everyone can try their luck again!

This morning, despite the sun and manageable winds, we searched extensively but unfortunately didn't spot any marine mammals. We of course issued complimentary tickets in hopes our passengers can return another day and have another chance to see the wildlife in our bay. The rest of our whale watching tours were cancelled due to weather.

Today, we encountered several pods of 10-12 white-beaked dolphins jumping close to the boat, then 3 harbour porpoises and about 10-12 minke whales with one even lunge-feeding. We also saw a crew favourite, "Davy Jones II" the humpback whale, logging, rolling and showing its pectoral fins! A gloomy day full of surprises!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 22:00

This evening was our first Northern Lights Cruise of the winter and we sailed out with a bit of a cloud cover but soon spotted some northern lights! The lights came and went, but they stayed with us most of the tour. A great start to the season!

While most tours ended up being cancelled due to weather, we did manage to sail out in the morning. We saw a bottling grey seal near Viðey island in the morning and two harbour porpoises in the afternoon, but due to the limited sightings, we did issue complimentary tickets in hopes our passengers are able to return and try again!

Today we encountered several pods of up to 20 white-beaked dolphins, some even travelling with their small calves. We also came across at least 3 minke whales throughout the day and 2 harbour porpoises in the early evening. The last two tours of the day ended up issuing complimentary tickets due to minimal sightings.

We encountered several humpback whales today, including "Mr. Bubbles", displaying fluke dives and even lunge feeding. The morning started slowly, with only birds and puffins spotted before finding a humpback. In the afternoon, sightings of the humpback continued, along with a brief appearance by two harbour porpoises.

Multiple pods of harbour porpoises were seen today, including a pod of 7-8 individuals. We spotted at least six different humpback whales, with "Davy Jones" among them, often displaying fluke dives. A minke whale was also sighted briefly. The calm seas allowed for clear views of these cetaceans making for a great day on the water!

Today we enjoyed calm waters and clear skies, spotting a minke whale and two pods of harbour porpoises. Later tours also encountered a friendly humpback whale known to us as "Davy Jones II", along with white-beaked dolphins and even more minke whales. Another tour had a brief minke whale sighting but ended up issuing complimentary tickets.

Throughout the day, we encountered multiple humpback whales on each tour, with some offering close fluke dives and even breaching. The afternoon tour saw an impressive lunge dive, while the evening tour ended with a humpback surrounded by at least 15 diving gannets plunging into the sea. A truly magnificent day in the bay!
