Preview textWith a cold breeze coming from land, we went on an adventure! The sun was shining low, perfect for golden hour pics! About 15 minutes into the tour, we saw blows from 2 humpback whales! It was Banana and their companion again. As we moved further along, we also found about 50 white-beaked dolphins; jumping, bow-riding, wave riding.. all of it!

Preview textToday we had a clear blue sky and lovely calm seas. We headed towards the islands where two eagle eyed passengers spotted a tail by Lundey. We slowly approached the area and soon were in the company of 2 humpback whales - our friend Banana and their companion! After enjoying their presence for a while, we admired a beautiful sunset on our way home!

The sea was flat and the stars were shining almost as bright as the moon. We sailed by Viðey island to see the Imagine Peace Tower and then further towards mount Esja. The northern lights first tested our patience, but then appeared all around us!

The forecast was good and there were supposed to be big gaps in between the clouds. We admired the Imagine Peace Tower on our way into the bay, but unfortunately the auroras never showed up, so we gave out complimentary tickets to all.
