Due to the strong winds we headed towards mt. Esja for protection. On our way, we spotted 2 harbour porpoises and soon after we saw a minke whale. In the afternoon we did manage to spot a blow or two but didn't manage to see the individual producing it. We therefore decided to give out complimentary tickets to our passengers!
Beautiful weather in the bay today, despite the cold air and signs of an early winter. We encountered a pod of 6 white beaked dolphins and about 5 minke whales, roaming around and feeding. In the afternoon, in addition to that, we also saw a couple of harbour porpoises, but due to the difficult sightings we offered our guests complimentary tickets.
Our day started out with snow dusted mountains, a cool wind coming from the North and the swell was moderate (picked up in the afternoon). In all we found a pod of 9 white-beaked dolphins, 3 minke whales and 3 harbour porpoises on our adventures today.

We were unable to find any cetaceans in the bay this morning and therefore our passengers were offered complimentary tickets. In the afternoon we found a couple of minke whales (one quite close to Viðey island) and a few harbour porpoises.
Due to unfavourable weather and rough sea conditions, we have decided to CANCEL all our tours!
In the morning we had encounters with a pod of about 30 playful white-beaked dolphins as well as a minke whale and in the afternoon we also saw a minke whale in addition to a humpback whale!
We sailed into the bay while the sun was creeping through the clouds. On both Classic tours today we managed to spot minke whales and an active pod of white-beaked dolphins that were jumping out of the water right in front of us!
Due to weather, we were only able to sail at 09:00 today. While we explored many areas, unfortunately the animals appeared to be further out in the bay today, so we decided to give out complimentary tickets!

We sailed out and as we did the wind picked up a little. We didn't have to look for long when we found 3 pods of 15 white beaked dolphins and a bit further out we saw 5 minke whales, in one spot!
