The sunrise was beautiful this morning, and made the perfect background for our sightings of two humpback whales today. Our afternoon was windy, but as we left the harbour, we spotted a beautiful humpback whale lunge feeding! Not far from it, there was a second humpback whale. We then found 2 more humpback whales.

About halfway into the tour, our cameras started to capture two arches on top of mt. Esja and it didn't take much time for the northern lights to glow much stronger with colours from green to reds and even purples!

About 10 minutes into the morning tour we saw blows belonging to 3 humpback whales that were up to some actions. In the afternoon, we first spotted 2 humpback whales that were lunge feeding in the same area. A few harbour porpoises raced past us and then another humpback whale quickly popped up and joined the others.

All of us aboard were excited and enjoying the music but sadly nature had something else in mind. For that reason we gave out complimentary tickets. This is so everyone can try again another night, free of charge!

With clear skies and calm seas, the conditions were great for tonight's cruise. Soon after sailing out of the harbour, we spotted a green arch of northern lights! Halfway through the tour, the lights became much brighter!

After the safety speech this morning we had already found 3 humpback whales. One of them was extremely close to shore! In the afternoon we soon found three humpback whales in front of Viðey, one of them lifting his pectoral fins above the surface, the other two were busy feeding. We then saw 3 harbour porpoises.

Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we have decided to CANCEL the Northern Lights Cruise tonight!

After 15 minutes of searching in the morning, we eventually found 3 humpback whales and one of them suddenly breached in front of us! Then, in the afternoon we found a humpback whale very close, going for deeper dives. We also saw another two humpback whales and one of them did between 15-20 breaches!!

We had a beautiful night sky full of stars, a few high clouds here and there that always got our hopes up. In the end we sadly did not see any aurora and therefore handed out complimentary tickets to all passengers.

About 10 minutes after we left berth this morning, we saw a seal and blows belonging to 2 humpback whales, one was doing peduncle throws and then it breached three consecutive times! In the afternoon we again spotted 2 humpback whales logging and feeding before finding a third humpback whale closer to the shore.

We sailed out with clear star filled skies and very calm seas! Unfortunately the lights never appeared in the sky and as we got back to the harbour, we offered complimentary tickets to all our passengers for a second try!

A huge cloud of smoke from the most recent volcano eruption made for the perfect backdrop today. This morning we found three humpback whales! In the afternoon it didn't even look like a winter day in Iceland; no clouds at all and 3 humpback whales all around - one was so close we could almost feel its blow on our faces!

This morning we sailed out under a glorious sunrise, the sky was orange and the mountains were pink. We eventually found a humpback whale and a few grey seals! In the afternoon we spotted a blow not 10 minutes into the tour - we had found our first of 5 humpback whales! We also saw a grey seal and 3 harbour porpoises.

At the beginning of the tour we could see a faint arch above Esja, and could even see this with our naked eye. As it stayed faint for the rest of the night, we gave out complimentary tickets so everyone can try again!
