    To end up the day, another great tour: more than 4 humpback whales around we didn´t know ehere to look! We decided then to go for a couple, mother and a very joung one, which spent most of its time breaching and approaching us very close.

    A lovely tour again. Although we didn't spot the Minke whales at all today, we had a fantastic time with the dolphins. We had dozens of dolphins all around us this evening. Everywhere we sailed we could spot them, and they were just as playful as this morning! Even as we wer

    Unfortunately we couldn't find the Minke whale again this time. The wind had increased a lot and it was difficult to spot anything, but we had a quick sighting of harbour porpoises.

    Finally! Luck was on our side this time. We took our passengers directly out onto Faxaflói bay, and spotted a Minke whale. The whale did not show us much interest, but we were able to spot it at the surface 4 or 5 times before we left it :) One of our passengers was particul

    We left it up to the passangers to decide whether they wanted to go for a bit of an adventure, as the sea was still pretty rough. Some brave passangers went out and we tried to find whales. The guide spotted one Minke whale, but was unable to find it again as it was travelli

    We had to sail for a long time before we finally found a small group of white-beaked dolphin. It was very nice to see a mother and calf, the calf was very small and cute :) Unfortunately the Minke whales were nowhere to be seen.
