Our tour started under a dense cloud of rain and snow. After 15 minutes, we had our first sighting, it was a blow from a humpback whale. Lots of grey seals were around, exploring the food source that this whale was feeding from. After another 10 minutes of scanning the area, we had another two humpback whales in sight!

The weather soon turned from snowing into amazing sunshine! Within a couple of minutes we spotted the first humpback whale. The amount of grey seals (15 in total), kept us busy between sightings. A few minutes later, we found another humpback whale. We also spotted a pod of 6 harbour porpoises very predictably feeding.

It didn't take more than 15 minutes to see blows near the islands close to Reykjavík - we had spotted 3 humpback whales! It was an amazing start to our tour! We also found around 8 seals and some of them were curious to see us on the boat. We made our way back to the harbour just in time before another snow blizzard!

This afternoon gave us a wonderful introduction to the Icelandic weather. We managed to find a humpback whale in the first fifteen minutes of the tour and then we found three more and got some good looks at the other individuals. Additionally, saw two grey seals, and hundreds of seabirds on the sea around Viðey island.

Despite a strong wind forecast, it was quite a comfortable ride. We first spotted a lone humpback whale, and soon we had another pair close by. We also saw 2-3 harbour porpoises, 15 seals and two additional humpback whales (in total 5 individuals!). It was great to see the amount of wildlife together in this very productive area!

In total we got to see 4 humpback whales, 3 grey seals and many seabirds! Moments after setting off we could already see many blows from close to Viðey and as we arrived we realised there was a pair of humpbacks with two solo feeders. They regularly came up lunge feeding and we saw so many fluke dives.

It didn't take more than 10 minutes to spot our first cetacean, a humpback whale blowing away near the shores of Viðey! It was in the company of two other humpback whales that were doing different things. This first individual was doing short dives and the other doing more erratic dives. We also saw 4-6 seals in total today!
