Whale diary

This morning we enjoyed a close sighting of a playful pod of white-beaked dolphins, however they seemed to be a little shy, so we ended up handing out complimentary tickets to all passengers. In the afternoon we were treated to a calm humpback whale showing off fluke dives under clear skies and rainbows. The last tour of the day was cancelled due to weather.

All whale watching tours from Reykjavík have been cancelled due to unfavourable conditions in the bay!

A brisk, windy day that delivered close minke whale encounter, multiple pairs of humpback whales, and a playful pod of white-beaked dolphins. Highlights included calm logging and graceful fluke dives, sudden breaches, and lively bow-riding as feeding activity pulsed across the bay. Wild seas, big smiles, and memorable sightings from start to finish!

This morning we enjoyed sightings of four humpback whales together, including our well-known Davy Jones II, along with an elusive minke whale. Conditions worsened in the afternoon and despite a long search, no whales were spotted, so we issued complimentary tickets to our passengers. The last tour of the day ended up getting cancelled due to weather.

Today brought sunshine, calm seas and excellent visibility, making for beautiful conditions on the bay. We spotted white-beaked dolphins, several minke whales and, in the afternoon and evening, multiple humpback whales. With close views, fluke dives and even some playful behaviour, it was a wonderful day of whale watching from start to finish.

The winds were strong this morning so we headed out into the bay past Hvalfjörður where we spotted 2 minke whales, a pod of 6-8 white-beaked dolphins and 4 fast harbour porpoises. Since none of them were in a sociable mood, we decided to offer our passengers complimentary tickets to join us again another day! The rest of the day was cancelled due to weather.

The morning tour had encounters with minke whales and a small pod of harbour porpoises, but sadly the afternoon tour did not see any larger cetaceans despite our best efforts. As both tours did not meet our expectations, complimentary tickets were issued to all so our guests can return for another chance to see the incredible wildlife of Faxaflói bay.

We enjoyed a lively day at sea with all four of our common cetaceans making an appearance. Playful white-beaked dolphins, elusive harbour porpoises, and curious minke whales kept us entertained, while several humpback whales treated us to fluke dives, close passes, and even spectacular surface activity. A fantastic day of variety, energy, and memorable sightings.

Today we enjoyed calm to smooth seas with sightings of all four common species - minke whales, harbour porpoises, white-beaked dolphins and multiple humpback whales. We were treated to feeding frenzies with bubble-netting, lunge feeding, and even spectacular breaches, tail slaps and pec slaps. A truly lively day in the bay with close encounters!

Another amazing day in fantastic Reykjavík!

Today we enjoyed calm seas and sunny skies with great sightings of minke whales, some even curiously circling the boat.
