This evening we had a very cosy trip, all enjoying a hot drink of some sort. Our trip began at Akurey, one of the puffin colonies. Since it was high tide, we were able to get very close to them. After this we headed out in Faxaflói Bay first spotting a couple of Minke wha
We began our trip with our usual stop at Akurey (Puffin Island) where we saw thousands of puffins. There were so many the Captain decided to stay a little longer and explore the north end of the island where we saw many groups of puffins hanging out together. It was a very
The weather was beautiful this evening when we started our tour out in puffin island Akurey. There weren't many birds in the island but when we came out on the bay we saw a lot of puffins and other seabirds feeding in flocks. It didn't take long before we saw our first Minke

The wind had picked up a little bit when we headed out to Faxaflói bay, the third time today. The Minke Whales were still in the same area, feeding. Many of them were lunge feeding. It is when the animal lunges its body toward
Once again we started the tour by visiting Akurey and there must of been the full 10-15 thousand birds that breed on the island every summer. All sitting on the water near the Island and clusters of then on the near rocks. Really wonderful to see so many. On the way to the w
We began our evening trip at Akurey, one of the two puffin colonies where we saw many puffins, both on the island and flying around us. Then sailing out into Faxafloi Bay under a light rain, very little wind and a flat calm sea, it was not long until we spotted a large pod
The Puffin island Akurey was our first stop this evening. Then Faxaflói bay. It took us a very long time to find the first whale. It was a group of Harbour porpoises. They surfaced two times before disappearing, and the second group also. It looked like the Porpoises were no
We set off this evening and began looking for the whales. When dealing with wild nature we sometimes have to be really patient, and that's what our passengers were this evening. We had been sailing for an hour and a half before we spotted the first Minke whale. We came to a
Dear diary. In beautiful weather we heated out to Faxaflói bay on this sunset tour. It took us some time to find the first whale. A group of Harbour porpoises crossed our path. They were a little bit shy but we followed them for a short time. And we searched some more. Sudde

It was a bit of a drizzly tour this one but it didn´t deter the whales. It was overcast but the sea was almost flat calm. We started by visiting Lundey (Puffin Island) but there wasn´t so many Puffins as the last two tours. I think

We started the tour in Akurey with the Puffins before we headed out to Faxaflói. The wind had been picking up when we were heading back from the 13:00 tour so we expected it to be pretty windy again, but when we got out to Faxaflói

We sailed straight out into Faxaflói bay. After we sailed for a while we spotted some really nice Harbour Porpoises. They were really close to the boat and we still saw them under the water surface. It was so nice to watch them. We

The wind was much calmer this evening than yesterday evening. However, there was still some swell out on the bay but it decreased during the tour. We covered a large area this evening, in good searching conditions (flat surface) but we didn't find any Minke whales :( We foun
This was the first Midnight Whale Watching of the season and we were really excited about the tour! We headed out in great weather, practically no wind and the sea flat even though there was a bit of a swell. We started by heading out to the puffin island Akurey where there
Cancelled due to strong wind out at sea.
This tour was not as successful as the one before. The wind had picked up a lot and there were many white wave tops. During the tour we spotted briefly 2 Minke Whales but both times it only surfaced
Really lovely day out in the bay today. But it was very difficult to find the whales this afternoon. After sailing for 40 minutes the guide spotted one Minke Whale witch surface only once before disappearing. So we headed further out. We spent a lot of time searching and fin
The wind calmed down a little from the 13pm tour but the rain was still persistent. Once again we visited Akurey (Puffin Island) and saw thousands of Puffins. We headed to the same area as the last two tours which again proved to be the most productive spot. First a blow fro
The weather was still the same. And again we sailed quite far out, trying to find the whales. And this time it took us about two hours to find them but finally two Minke Whales of them showed up next to us. The second one was very nice, feeding close to the surface, coming u
