Preview textAnother cold morning at sea, and we headed out in search of wildlife. Close to the island of Viðey, we spotted a humpback whale feeding. In the afternoon, the wind had picked up a bit but we had blue skies and were excited to see what was in store for us. We first spotted a grey seal close to Lundey, before seeing our resident friend Banana, a humpback whale. We could even see their whole body through the clear water, a brilliant afternoon at sea.

Of course, it was Banana, our regular humpback! In the afternoon, we had clear blue skies and a cold northerly wind, and headed out again to find our favourite humpback whale again, sleeping at the surface. Another brilliant day in Faxaflói bay!

Another calm and clear night, with a kp index forecast of 3/9. We headed out towards Esja, to find some shelter from the wind, and warmed up with hot chocolate as we waited for the northern lights. We had a very brief glimpse of them before they stopped again, and we decided to give our passengers complimentary tickets to try again for a better showing!

Clear skies in the bay as we left the harbour, ready for an evening at sea. On our way out, we even spotted a humpback whale at sea, as we were waiting to see if the northern lights would show up! Unfortunately, they decided not to appear tonight, and we gave our passengers complimentary tickets so everyone can try their luck again.
