    The day started off so beautiful that we hoped the rain would stay away at least till after the tour but alas no. It was only the rain that dampened the tour today otherwise it was fantastic. We saw Harbour Porpoises, One Humpback Whale (Mr. Square) and many seabirds includi

    The weather forecast told us it might be quite windy out in the bay today so we warned the passengers however, once we were on the water and sailing the sea conditions were perfect, almost mirror calm. The rain also stayed off of us for most of the tour which was great. The

    We sailed out from Hafnafjörður again, because of the good chance to encounter whales in this area. Today the wind and the rain made the searching a little bit more difficult then the days before. But after quite a while out on sea we found two (maybe even three) Humpback Wh

    A little bit windy and cold today out in Faxaflói Bay but that wouldn't deter the whales so why should it deter us. We saw 3 Humpbacks Whales today and spent time with two. We got to see some interesting behaviour today, including lunge feeding, tail slapping, resting, feedi

    Once again an incredible day. We started the tour of on a little bus ride from Reykjavik old harbour where our office is to Hafnarfjörður. In Reykjavik it was really windy, raining and miserable so even though we had high hopes for the whales we had little for the weather. H

    We sailed out once again from Hafnarfjörður today in a very windy weather. It only took us about 5 minutes or so (or at least it felt like it) to spot a humpback whale! Soon we saw that the humpback was not alone feeding on the herring, but a family of Orca was there as well

    Another great day with the two Humpback Whales. Sadly no Orca but the behaviours we got to observe with the Humpback made up for it. We got to see lunge feeding (head coming out of water with ventral plates extended indicated mouth full of food), rolling and the whale breach
