Report from Elding: The weather had really calmed down this evening, the sea was very flat and on the way out we couldn´t feel the wind. It was a very pleasant journey that could only be made better with whales. We first tried sailing south into an area we hadn´t explored ve
Report from Elding: this was a difficult tour. The south-eastern wind was always on the increase, causing uncomfortable boat movements. As to whales, they were there for sure but playing very difficult. Three or four times we saw big splashes, suggesting a a breaching whale,
Report from Elding: The day had been getting better and better, every tour improving upon the last. Though the last tour was excellent this one could still match it for quality. We were treated to perfect weather conditions, the sky (for the first time in a long time) was cl
Report from Elding: What a beautiful evening! We enjoyed a calm weather as we headed out this evening and soon, we found our first minke whale. It came up 4 or 5 times but then vanished. Oh well, we headed further and then manged to find about 3 minkes more that were spread
Report from Hafsúlan: It was a difficult tour this evening with the strong swell on the way out of the bay and the very elusive minke whales. We did encounter one minke whale though which surfaced twice, but very low so that you could barely see the whale, the waves didn´t r
Report from Elding: The weather this evening as we headed out was quite rough with some white capped waves and strong winds. Despite that we were quite confident as we headed out and began our search. We decided to go pretty far out to sea this time around and try our luck t
Report from Hafsúlan: we were only about half an hour out of the harbour when the first Minke Whale of approximately 4 popped up. All were very docile and easy to watch, blows were loud and reasonably clear, and one of them even interestingly popped its head rather high up i

Report from Hafsúlan: The ocean was smooth as a mirror as we headed out this evening. We had only sailed for a couple of minutes as we spotted our first Harbour porpoise out of 2-3 that we saw this tour. After about 30 minutes we spotted a Minke whale in the distance. The an
Report from Elding: The first midnight tour of the summer was conducted tonight! It was cloudy this evening so unfortunately we didn't get a look at the midnight sun, but still the weather was calm and nice although it rained a little bit during the tour. We spotted 3-4 Mink
Report from Hafsúlan: by far the best tour on this boat today. It did take us around two hours to find a Minke Whale but once we finally did, while we were tracing a blow in a distance, it was an awesome one and well worth the time it took to find it. Then on the way back to
Report from Hafsúlan: The weather this afternoon was much the same as we headed out onto the bay for our last trip of the day. We decided this time around to head further south and begin our search. The wind had picked up slightly by the time we got further out onto the bay
Report from Hafsúlan: It had calmed down even more this morning when we left the Reykjavík habour. Still, the sky was clear and the temperatures were comfortable. We had sailed for about 40 minutes when the first minke whale was spotted and after that there were about 5 mink
Report from Hafsúlan: we went out and along the way listened to some stories on the radio of how many whales of how many species were being seen out there, thinking we'd have to take them with a pinch of salt as it sounded as if the captains were just joking between themselv
Report from Hafsúlan: The sea conditions had gotten even better for the evening tour - absolutely perfect sighting conditions under light grey clouds! And after a little over 30 minutes of sailing we were back in minke paradise... First we watched two Minke Whales surface ri
Report from Hafsúlan: The conditions were still the same as we left the harbour for our evening tour. Although the conditions were still good for sightings we could not discover a lot of life in the beginning. But then we found two Minke Whales at the same time! They were sw
Report from Hafsúlan: This evening the fantastic weather of the day was still present and this evening we found ourselves three species! Earlier in the day we found two species which we see almost every day but this evening we had a third species that we see once every few d
