We set off this morning excited to find wildlife. At one point we were surrounded by what felt like 100s of black legged kittiwakes and sooty shearwaters. We found two solo white-beaked dolphins and a minke whale! Sailing out again this afternoon, we found 6 minke whales and a small pod of 8 harbour porpoises around the islands near Reykjavik.
We set sails on our morning tour and were soon surprised by a quick moving minke whale. Moving further, we encountered an elusive humpback whale and 8 harbour porpoises. Finally, a second minke whale appeared, much friendlier and even treating us to two lunge-feeds. The afternoon tour was cancelled due to weather.
We sailed towards Hafnarfjörður this morning and were thrilled to find 4 humpback whales. In the afternoon, we sailed from Hafnarfjörður, quickly encountering 4 resting humpbacks. We later saw 4 pods of harbour porpoises and 2 minke whales and a surprise humpback among them, topped off with an unexpected breach close to Reykjavík!

The afternoon brought challenging conditions, but we persevered and found another minke whale followed by a large humpback whale near Hafnarfjörður!
Although morning tours were all cancelled, we were finally able to sail out in the afternoon after a couple of rough days. Just five minutes after departure, we spotted a minke whale! Another while later, we spotted a humpback whale! We waited patiently until it returned to the surface for a few dives before diving down and showing its fluke!
