In the morning, we saw the erupting volcano near the Blue Lagoon, but despite searching near Hafnarfjörður and beyond, the whales proved elusive, so we issued complimentary tickets. The afternoon brought better luck as we spotted a juvenile humpback whale. After teasing us with shallow dives, it finally fluked beautifully into the sunset.
