Today, we found three of four most common species in the bay. We saw several humpback whales, including one named Hooker (due to its curved dorsal fin), and a few minke whales, some of which were a bit elusive. The evening tour was highlighted by several sightings of both whales and a pod of white-beaked dolphins, under a spectacular sunset.
This morning we sailed out into a grey bay and spotted a humpback whale showing its dark fluke. The next tours all found 2-3 more humpback whales, displaying their flukes during deep dives and one even lunge-feeding! We also saw a minke whale and enjoyed seeing the diversity of seabirds such as puffins and northern gannets flying.
Throughout today, we encountered at least 2 different humpback whales. In the morning we saw one quite close, with its fluke diving deep. Later, we got to enjoy them showing their white pectoral fins. Afternoon tours had close encounters as well, with some whales even breaching near the boat and even a spectacular lunge feed!
Unfortunately all our Whale Watching tours are cancelled today from Reykjavík, due to weather!

Today, we enjoyed excellent whale watching conditions. We first spotted a minke whale and then encountered pods of white-beaked dolphins and three solitary humpback whales. Later tours saw even more minke whales, and the highlight was the synchronisation of humpback whales and playful dolphins against a stunning sunset backdrop.
Throughout the day, we had remarkable sightings starting with a social group of white-beaked dolphins.

We also had a spectacular show of several pods of up to 50 white-beaked dolphins and at least 2 minke whales in total.
Today we experienced the moody nature of the bay, with some ups and downs. Unfortunately, the morning tours had no sightings, resulting in complimentary tickets. However, in the afternoon and evening tours delighted passengers with close encounters with humpback whales, showcasing fluke dives and lunge feeding near the boat.
