With a stiff wind and a cautious Captain, we headed straight out into Faxaflói Bay, heading north towards all of the action on the previous tours. The Bay was full of birds, 10's of thousands of birds everywhere. Surely there was bound to be whales and soon we found oursel
It was quite overcast but the sea was calm. We sailed straight out into Faxaflói and once again the Minkes were very close. We stayed near the coast for a long time watching the Minke Whales surface feeding. There were about 5 small clusters of feeding birds in this area whe

This evening we had a very cosy trip, all enjoying a hot drink of some sort. Our trip began at Akurey, one of the puffin colonies. Since it was high tide, we were able to get very close to them. After this we headed out in Faxaflói Bay first spotting a couple of Minke wha
We began our trip with our usual stop at Akurey (Puffin Island) where we saw thousands of puffins. There were so many the Captain decided to stay a little longer and explore the north end of the island where we saw many groups of puffins hanging out together. It was a very

The wind had picked up a little bit when we headed out to Faxaflói bay, the third time today. The Minke Whales were still in the same area, feeding. Many of them were lunge feeding. It is when the animal lunges its body toward
Once again we started the tour by visiting Akurey and there must of been the full 10-15 thousand birds that breed on the island every summer. All sitting on the water near the Island and clusters of then on the near rocks. Really wonderful to see so many. On the way to the w

The Puffin island Akurey was our first stop this evening. Then Faxaflói bay. It took us a very long time to find the first whale. It was a group of Harbour porpoises. They surfaced two times before disappearing, and the second group also. It looked like the Porpoises were no
We set off this evening and began looking for the whales. When dealing with wild nature we sometimes have to be really patient, and that's what our passengers were this evening. We had been sailing for an hour and a half before we spotted the first Minke whale. We came to a
Dear diary. In beautiful weather we heated out to Faxaflói bay on this sunset tour. It took us some time to find the first whale. A group of Harbour porpoises crossed our path. They were a little bit shy but we followed them for a short time. And we searched some more. Sudde
