Whale diary

This morning we headed to the same place we found a whale yesterday and we got lucky again! We saw lots of northern gannets diving, and soon enough, 3 lunge feeding humpback whales surfaced (one of which was Pongo)! The afternoon saw the same 3 humpback whales, still feeding really close to shore! What a great day at sea!

In the morning we saw plunge diving northern gannets and a few grey seals feeding on their scraps. Not long after, we had found a humpback whale - it was our friend Pongo! In the afternoon we found a pod of 5 white-beaked dolphins and 2 harbour porpoises, however due to the quick sightings we issued complimentary tickets.

This morning it was overcast and windy with some rain. We again made our way towards Hafnarfjörður where we found a pod of 3 white-beaked dolphins and a humpback whale. In the afternoon we sailed to the back to the same area where one of our passengers spotted the humpback whale we saw in the morning, lunge feeding!

We set sails to Hafnarfjörður this morning, which has been a hot spot for wildlife lately. There, we finally caught a glimpse of a feeding humpback whale - then out of nowhere, a HUGE breach! On the way back, we even saw another humpback whale! In the afternoon we soon found 2 humpback whales - one of which was our friend Pongo!

We headed towards Hafnarfjörður under sun, snow and hail. When we arrived to our destination, we came across a feeding and rolling humpback whale, about 20-25 harbour porpoises and many feeding seabirds. In the afternoon we found the same humpback whale again, where it was surfacing quite a lot and showing us it's fluke.

This morning we headed out for the first time since the big storm - it was warm but windy as we headed towards Hafnarfjörður, where we found a humpback whale! In the afternoon, we encountered 2 humpback whales! The first one was in full feeding mode, showing its fluke often. We also spotted a pod of 4 harbour porpoises!

We headed out in typical Icelandic winter weather this morning, with some rain, snow and wind! We sailed towards Hafnarfjörður once more and found 2 humpback whales hanging around the harbour, as in the previous days - success! They even did synchronised dives! Due to increasing winds, the afternoon tour ended up being cancelled.

Throughout the day, we experienced all kinds of weather, from hail to a full snowstorm and sunshine, but our efforts were rewarded with incredible sightings. In the morning, we encountered 4 humpback whales! In the afternoon we found 2 humpback whales in the same area, this time lunge feeding -a spectacular sight for us al!

After 2,5 days of cancelled tours, we sailed out towards Hafnarfjörður in the afternoon and soon saw huge blows coming up from the surface. We had found a total of 3 humpback whales (one of which was our friend Pongo)! There was one pair very actively lunge feeding together under a large flock of northern gannets!

We set off along the Reykjanes peninsula again to the same spot as yesterday - here we got very lucky once again, as we had found 4 humpback whales! There was a solo one that we travelled past as there was already a boat with it, so we carried on as we had seen another 3 close together, all lunge feeding lots as well as rolling!

Today we sailed out with beautiful weather and headed to Hafnarfjörður, as the whales had moved on from Reykjavík yesterday. There, we found 3 humpback whales feeding! They were all surfacing in different directions, until the end of the tour where two of them came together for a lovely feast. It was an incredible tour!

After searching near the islands and surrounding areas, we realised that the whale that had been feeding there for the last week had finally decided to move on. So, we decided to head further out into the bay, in the direction of Hvalfjörður. Unfortunately we didn't find any whales or dolphins today, so we offered everyone complimentary tickets!

We set off this afternoon with the sun creeping through the clouds and had some interesting weather throughout the tour. The highlight, however - seeing a humpback whale! It popped up very randomly and we got to see a few amazing fluke dives too which was very cool. We also saw 2 grey seals nearby, before returning to the harbour.

The weather today was quite moody, with lots of snow before we left the harbour. We soon found a humpback whale in between the islands near Reykjavík. It was a little shy at first, but soon started taking breaths and showing us its fluke in between dives. There was also a curious seal that popped up for a quick look at our passengers.

We had amazing visibility today and could see all the way across the bay to Snæfellsjökull glacier. After sailing past Lundey island, we saw a large group of birds and the back of a whale! It was the same humpback whale that we've been seeing for the last few days, but this time it was resting. We also saw around 9 harbour seals throughout the tour.
