On our way out to the area at one o'clock we spotted the Harbour Porpoises again. We saw few of them while searching for the bigger whales and finally only about 5 meters away from the boat one Minke Whale popped up. We saw it surface few times before it disappeared. Soon we
The wind was still strong but the swell was not to bad, and together with blue sky and good visibility it only made the day more refreshing. After sailing for about 40-50 minutes we spotted a flock of birds and soon we noticed one Minke Whale there as well, we saw it surface
The weather was the same as this morning but the wind eased down during the tour. We decided to sail further out hoping to find the great mammals of the ocean. All we saw were only two small Harbour Porpoises surfacing twice and spotted some Puffins. It was like somebody ha
BEST TOUR OF THE SEASON SO FAR!! The wind had calmed down and wasn’t so painful on the face. We headed out offshore but didn’t have to travel very far before we were surrounded by White-Beaked Dolphins (50 to 100 individuals). They were just everywhere; leaping, breaching, b

Even though the 1 o´clock tour wasn´t successful with the whales it was certainly successful with the seabirds. Just 10 minutes after leaving the harbour we found a flock of feeding Gannets, Fulmars and Kittiwakes. We sailed towards the Hólmsberg cliffs for both tours and go
Again we headed out from Reykjavík and the weather was just about the same as this morning. After searching for along time we spotted something black sitting on the surface. When we got closer we saw it was Great Northern Diver. Quite a spectacular bird and not often seen so
Both tours of the day were onboard Elding (Icelandic meaning lightning) this vessel allowed viewing on three platforms so that all can see and what a great deal to see for this tour. Again sailed offshore and spotted a small pod of Harbour Porpoises but again they were very
This tour we sailed out from Reykjavík. After sailing for a while we spotted a flock of feeding birds. Close to the birds we then spotted a Minke Whale. This Minke whale was not in a good whale watching mood today since it seemed to only surface once and then it went for a

Today both boats (Hafsúlan and Elding) were out exploring Faxaflói Bay in search of whales. It took only 15 minutes to find something, a large Minke Whale. It was obvious that it was not the same one as this morning. This one had a notch in his dorsal-fin. It seemed to be ve
Two of our vessels, Hafsúlan and Elding, went out in Faxaflói Bay this afternoon widening the area we were searching for whales. We spotted a small flock of birds and saw a lot of fish on the fish finder however; we were unsuccessful in seeing any whales. The weather was gor
