On an overcast but dry morning, we set sail and after some time, spotted big blows on the horizon. We set course there and suddenly spotted a humpback whale breaching from afar - a spectacular sight! Two minke whales also appeared and we had a great look at all three animals before heading back to the harbour. In the afternoon, the tour started with two minke whales just outside of the harbour. We continued our tour and soon spotted 5 harbour porpoises and then 2 humpback whales, slapping their pectoral fins on the water. A great end to the day!

We set sail this morning eager to see what was in the bay today! Soon, we spotted the first blow of a humpback whale and spent some time there, before it breached in front of us - a brilliant sight! On our way back after this show, we also spotted 2 minke whales, a great morning. In the afternoon, we spotted a minke whale soon into the trip, along with a lot of birdlife. Then, we spotted a humpback whale as well as another minke whale. A brilliant day in Faxaflói bay!

We left the harbour with good weather this morning and sailed into Faxaflói bay. We soon found 3 harbour porpoises and then 3 minke whales surfacing many times. Carrying on further into the bay, we found 9 white-beaked dolphins and soon a humpback whale which breached in front of the boat! In the afternoon, we set out and soon spotted a minke whale and then a humpback whale feeding, with more minke whales around. A brilliant day at sea.

It was the first day of summer today, and we headed out with some overcast skies and soon spotted multiple minke whales as we headed out from the harbour into our usual searching area. As we searched, we had more and more minke whales everywhere, a total of eight, with many lunge feeding and surfacing all around the boat during the tour. In the afternoon, we again had a minke whale soon into the tour. As we sailed further as had two harbour porpoises and six white-beaked dolphins with even more minkes in the bay. A brilliant day at sea, with minke whales everywhere!

This morning we set sail with a little fog but otherwise good visibility. Right away, we spotted two minke whales and soon after, one humpback whale. We then sailed a bit further out and found 6 white-beaked dolphins and another minke whale nearby. On our way back, we had even more minke whales and two harbour porpoises - a brilliant morning. In the afternoon, we again spotted two minke whales very soon into the tour, and then a pod of 7 white-beaked dolphins - a very curious bunch! Then, a humpback whale was spotted, and some more harbour porpoises on the way back. Just when we thought that was it, a minke whale started breaching on the way back into the harbour - a rare but brilliant sight!

On our morning tour, with great weather, we set off and soon spotted 1 minke whale. We went further out and some fog came in, spotting 2 harbour porpoises on the way. More Minke Whales were popping up everywhere, and we spotted 2 pods of white-beaked dolphins as well. A great morning. In the afternoon, much of the fog had cleared, and on our way in, we spotted 2 minke whales and 5 harbour porpoises. Further into the bay, we had a humpback whale sighting, and then around 23 white-beaked dolphins! 3 more humpback whales also popped up in this same area, a true feeding frenzy! What a day!

We left the harbour with beautiful sunshine and flat sea conditions, and soon spotted a minke whale coming up once. After some time, we spotted 2 humpback whales as well as more minke whales coming up around us. On the way back in, we also spotted 3 harbour porpoises. In the afternoon, we had similarly great weather and spotted our first minke whale near the islands. Further out to sea, we had areas with many more minke whales, around 10 in total. A brilliant end to the day!

We sailed out with a bit more wind and waves than yesterday, and after some sailing, briefly spotted a minke whale quick on it‘s way! Soon after, a humpback whale was sighted and we had some good sightings of that before heading back. In the afternoon, we found two minke whales in the shallows near Viðey & Engey Islands, with some incredible bird-life in the bay as well. We had some more sightings of minke whales before heading back to the harbour after a great day at sea.

We headed out on our morning tour with a little breeze, and soon spotted 5-7 white-beaked dolphins, and then 2 humpback whales. Many more pods of white-beaked dolphins showed up, and at least 4 minke whales as well - a true feeding frenzy! In the afternoon, we had similarly good weather and were soon greeted by a small pod of harbour porpoises. As we continued to sail, we spotted 2 minke whales and 4 humpback whales, with one of the humpback whales even breaching! A brilliant day at sea.

With sunny skies and calm waters, we headed out to sea and soon spotted a pod of white-beaked dolphins and a minke whale soon into the tour. We then noticed a breaching humpback whale in the distance, and spotted several humpback whales around us feeding, and a sighting of harbour porpoises on the way back into the harbour! In the afternoon, we had similar success with minke whales and humpback whales feeding in the same area as earlier, with the humpbacks spy-hopping and other curious behaviours. A fantastic day!

With a little drizzle, we headed out on our morning tour and almost instantly spotted a minke whale by Engey. Soon after, we spotted three different pods of 3 harbour porpoises and further into the bay, around 10 humpback whales and even more minke whales. In the afternoon, we similarly saw a minke whale soon into the tour, and not long after, found at least 10 humpback whales again, in a feeding frenzy. A brilliant day in Faxaflói bay.

We headed out to sea this morning with fantastic conditions. We first encountered harbour porpoises and managed a good look at these usually shy individuals, before finding an area full of birds, with 4 minke whales and 10 humpback whales - fantastic! In the afternoon, we soon spotted 6 white-beaked dolphins travelling near Grótta, and then 10 harbour porpoises. We again headed further out and spotted at least 2 minke whales and at least 10 humpback whales. A brilliant day at sea!

We left the harbour with fantastic weather and the sun was shining. We soon spotted 2 harbour porpoises and soon after, some larger cetaceans! We witnessed 10 humpback whales and 6 minke whales in a feeding frenzy, a brilliant morning! In the afternoon, we had more great weather and soon spotted 2 pods of 3 harbour porpoises as well as 10 humpback whales! Feding and surfacing all around us - with one even breaching & tail slapping. An amazing day at sea.

We set off on our morning tour with calm seas and spotted our first blows soon into the tour. We counted at least 6 humpback whales and spent some time with them, also spotting 2 minke whales in the same area. In the afternoon, we had some light rain at the start and soon spotted 2 pods of 3 harbour porpoises. We eventually came to the same area as the morning and spotted around 7 humpback whales! A fantastic day at sea with guests and crew very happy.

In the morning, we had some strong wind and swell, so decided to cancel our tour for the safety and comfort of our passengers. In the afternoon, the wind has subsided a little, and we headed out to see what we could find. After some sailing, we spotted our first blow! In total, we had around 8 humpback whales feeding all around us, an excellent sighting and what an afternoon at sea!

We had beautiful weather and clear skies as we headed out to sea. There was a little wind, but otherwise great conditions and we spotted 10 harbour porpoises briefly, but they were quite shy. In the end, we offered to our passengers complimentary tickets to try again on another tour! In the afternoon, we had similarly good weather with a little wind, and again spotted 5 harbour porpoises in a brief sighting, but couldn't find anything larger so gave our passengers complimentary tickets to try again!

A sunny morning, with some swell, and we headed out full of hope for the day! We soon found 2 pods of 3-4 harbour porpoises and got a good look at them, before spotting 2 humpback whales and 1 minke whale further out in the bay - a great morning at sea. In the afternoon, we headed out again with some swell, and soon spotted 2 harbour porpoises and a minke whale. Then, we spotted, a humpback whale! It showed it‘s fluke a few times, a  perfect day at sea!
