• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Tonight we were expecting a Kp index of 1-2/9 and while there were a few clouds, they quickly moved away and over the city. From the minute we started the tour, we could already see northern lights that faded in and out throughout the night.

As we sailed out of the harbour, a couple of blows were seen in the distance; upon further inspection, we saw it was 2 humpback whales going up and down in the water column. It was Banana and its buddy once again. We approached them carefully, and drifted alongside them. There were also lots of birds around, including northern gannets and juvenile red-throated loons!

We sailed out with a good forecast, but the clouds were giving us a hard time with small gaps. At one point we could see a little patch of northern lights, but they were only visible through the camera, so as we sailed back home, we issued complimentary tickets.

We set out with strong winds, but quite good sea conditions nonetheless. We searched around a bit, and soon enough, we had found Banana and their friend - our 2 familiar humpback whales. They were cruising around, and so we cruised along with them. Eventually we were rewarded with an incredible peduncle throw, which was the perfect end to our tour today!

We had barely sailed out of the harbour when we had the northern lights to our left and Reykjavík city to our right. There were 2 arches visible, one above the other, stretching over mt. Esja. We saw different shapes and swirls going from green to red!

We sailed passed the islands, where we spotted our the same pair of humpback whales that we've been seeing for the past several weeks. They came super close to the boat a few times and we could see their whole bodies through the water! After cruising around for a bit, the whales were now closer to the shore and had started to log at the surface.

We set sail into fairly calm seas, with a moderate wind and a sky mostly covered by high clouds. After waiting patiently, a band of northern lights appeared! Faint at first, barely visible to the naked eye, when suddenly the sky exploded into colour!

Today was a windy day but the sun shone between the clouds and we managed to stay in not too choppy waters. We searched around between the islands for a bit until we found our 2 familiar humpback whales again; Banana and their friend were swimming around calmly, going for dives every now and then. We were rewarded with some nice fluke dives.

We had northern lights the minute we sailed out of the harbour, on both sides of the boat! A nice green arch stretched above the night sky and a green patch above mt. Esja. As the tour went on, they even changed shapes a few times!

Tonight we were expecting an activity 3/9 on the Kp index. The sky would be mostly clear and we could see loads of stars! As we sailed out and our eyes started adjusted to the darkness, we could see the northern lights starting to get strong!

It was windy, but it was a gorgeous, sunny day in the bay! Not too long after sailing out, we spotted 2 humpback whales swimming side by side, one of them was our beloved Banana. They would pop up close to our vessel, and we could hear and see them so well. After a good while with them, with the best encounter, off we went back home, extremely happy!

We wet out with strong winds, but just a few minutes outside of the harbour we spotted the blows of 2 humpback whales. Banana and friend were busy feeding, so we got a good look at them. After we spent some time with them, we cruised around the islands and found 2 harbour seals, one was checking us out and the other one resting on the rocks.

We had a lovely windy night that blew away the clouds and opened the sky for us. The northern lights revealed themselves, first with a green glow that formed an arch that soon became stronger. We also saw a bit of dancing and different colours.

Today was quite windy, but the sun was shining and we soon spotted 2 humpback whales, one of which was our friend Banana. They were swimming around, coming so close we could see every detail on their bodies. We also got several good fluke dives and lots of birds flying around. After cruising around, we went back to our friends one last time before heading home.
