The whales weren't in such good mood this afternoon and made it rather difficult for us. Right in the beginning we spotted some really nice harbour porpoises. Then we spent much time searching for minke whales. We spotted some but could never get really close to them. Just a
Again we left from the harbour of Grindavík. We headed straight out to the area were we spotted the humpback whale on the 13:00 tour and started searching. We searched and searched for a long time and covered a large area, but unfortunately the humpback whale was nowhere to
The wind had calmed down in Grindavík so we sailed from there again this afternoon. The sea was beautiful and we sailed around a very large area searching all around. It took us quite a long time to find anything but towards the end of the trip, actually very close to Grinda
We headed to the same area where we had the Humpback whale earlier and had to sail a little bit further before we spotted the huge blow of the whale. We approached and found that it was the same whale that we had on our previous trip! It was diving a little bit longer at the
Cancelled due to strong winds and rough conditions!
Report from Elding: Wild nature is so unpredictable, we had a completely different trip than this morning. We sailed first towards a group of feeding Gannets where we could also spot a gr
The weather this afternoon was perfect but the wind was getting stronger. We headed out to the same area where we had the Minke Whales earlier today and we spotted tree or four minke whales. Some of them came several times close to the boat but they were deep diving for a lo
A perfect way to end a great day - We had a "full house" on this tour! That's what we call it when we spot all four species of the bay in the same tour: harbour porpoises, white beaked dolphins, minke whales and a HUMPBACK WHALE!!! We haven't seen the humpbacks since the 17t
This trip really proved how unpredictable the wild nature can be. We headed out to the same area where we had the Minke whales earlier today and we spotted one or two Minke whales but just surfacing once then we couldn't see them again, so we headed out further. We saw a gro
We had another wet and windy trip and the sea was still pretty rough. The trip was very similar to the trip at 9:00 this morning. We started by seeing a Minke whale breaching in the distance but it stopped once we got close to the area where it was. We spotted a couple of Mi
Harbour porpoises were the first specie that we spotted on this tour. We only saw it coming up once so we sailed further out and spotted few minke whales. Than we spotted a very curious group of white beaked dolphins and sometimes they were just one mete
The wind picked up a little bit again but still it was quite ok. The first two minke whales were immediately deep diving when we got closer to them so we went on to find others. And we got rewarded! We found than several other minke whales and these were really nice to watch
The weather was still nice and we headed to a similar area as on the 13:00 tour. First we spotted harbour porpoises but they swam away from us pretty soon. Then right after we spotted some minke whales, surfacing a couple of times before deep diving. Then we had similar sigh
It was quite a winy day and the sea was rough. We sailed out, though and we had a good tour. We sailed first
The weather was still very lovely. Even less wind than the few we had all day. We sailed out first to Akurey where we had few Puffins but fortunately we had a few more out in the bay where we had also a few Minke whales. Single moving animals and some were really quite big, pro
Cancelled due to worsening weather conditions :-(
Report from Hafsúla: The weather was still rough out there, but fortunately the wind was coming from the best direction possible so we got some shelter from the land. We saw several minke w
The weather out on the bay turned out better than expected (despite a little rain) and the searching conditions were good. First we went to the puffin island, there are still some puffins there even though most of them have already left. Out on the bay we found minke whales.
The sea and the weather just got better and we spotted a spectacular group of dolphins, they were just a few meters away from the boat, showing us their body very well. We also spotted 7 minke whales around. Sometimes we could see them coming up two together. On the way bac
An excellent tour out in Faxaflói bay. We sailed to the Puffins first. On Akurey still few Puffins were there. Out in the bay we had instead a marvellous tour. We had first a few Minke whales moving around, their blows were visible also since it was a bit windier than this morn
The weather was still very good, light conditions perfect, just a bit less whales around, mainly we had a couple of Minke whales closer to the boat and two more moving around a bit further away.
Report from Elding: Another beautiful trip with
The sea was a little bit more choppy than earlier but the conditions were still really good out on the bay. We spotted some minke whales, they were shallow diving and surfacing frequently. Then we spotted a huge flock of feeding birds in the distance and we hurried over ther
