We sailed out from Hafnarfjörður today. The wind was very strong and the sea quite rough so we sailed towards Keflavík with the wind coming from behind. Also the Humpback Whale from yesterday was last spotted close to Keflavík. Unfortunately we didn't see it today but when w

It was a rough tour today. We sailed out on the bay to try to find a Humpback Whale which was tagged with a gps transmitter by the Icelandic marine research institute. It turned out to be more difficult than we had hoped. We got a new fix on the whale twice during the tour b

Unfortunately we had to cancel the tour today. It is too windy and the wind will increase later today.

Very sunny but little bit cold day and nice calm sea. First we spotted one group of White-beaked dolphins. That group was not in a good whale watching mood so we went further out. And suddenly we spotted some splashes in a distance from jumping dolphins. Some of them came ve

Today we had a very nice winter whale watching day. The sea was calm and no wind. We had sailed for some time when we spotted a blow from a whale. But it took us some time to find the whale. It was a Minke whale. Good to know that they are not all gone. We saw the whale surf

Today we had a perfect whale watching weather, calm sea and some beautiful sunshine. We had to search for a long time before we spotted something. Suddenly, a Minke whale surfaced a 50 m. in front of the boat. The whale appeared to go under the boat and surfaced again 200 m.

Today we went out from Keflavík because of bad sea conditions.  We had shelter from the land in the beginning and then the wind behind us on our way to Reykjavík. There was a bit of swell from the previous night. First we saw some White-beaked dolphins in the distance jumpin

We had warned out passengers about rough weather out on the bay, but as it turned out the weather was not so bad at all. Soon we spotted some Harbour porpoises but just for few seconds before they disappeared again. Then suddenly a Minke whale surfaced very close to the boat

We sailed from Hafnarfjörður harbour this afternoon and had some really strong winds pushing us out towards our whale watching grounds. We sailed for the whole 3 hours searching a really large area but unfortunately were not able to find any whales or dolphins. The captain s

This afternoon the sea state was much worse. We sailed a really long time and just found one single white-beaked dolphin which surfaced a couple of times around the boat but then disappeared. Quite strange to see this dolphin alone, and even more strange that we have seen so

This afternoon the forecast didn't look too good, but as we sailed out it turned out that the weather was much better than expected! The sea was pretty calm and we had some excellent visibility. In spite of the great conditions we weren't able to spot any Minke whales. Towar

We had to sail quite far out today. The sea was calm but it was raining a lot. We spotted three groups of White-beaked dolphins but very different groups. First one was very active, jumbing out of the water and swimming very close to the boat. We spent much time with them an

A nice trip out there on the bay today. We had some beautiful weather and a very calm sea. We didn’t have to go out too far today before we came across a Minke whale calmly surfacing close to the boat. It even swam underneath the boat and came up on the other side! In this a

We had luck again today. Good weather and good sea conditions. We encountered Minke whales about three of them and they came close to the boat and surfaced several times. Three groups of White-beaked dolphins, some close some further away. And on the way back we spotted the

Calm seas, hardly any wind and conditions as good as they come. We had sailed about 40 minutes when we spotted the first group of White-beaked dolphins. We stayed with them for a while. They surfaced slowly and some of them even swam under the bout. They were obviously feedi

We had some beautiful weather and excellent visibility today. We could see the glacier, Snæfellsjökull, really well in the distance, snow covered and very beautiful. The sea was nice and calm but in spite of the perfect conditions, we weren't able to find any whales! We spot
