We started the tour with a trip to puffin island. On the way there we encountered a group of harbour porpoises just outside the harbour! We were very happy to have this early encounter. We tried our luck on Faxaflói bay, but only when we were sailing back to the harbour we e

Our luck changed and we had a breaching Minke whale! It jumped twice out of the water and stayed with us for about an hour afterwards. It was splashing about, showed us its fluke and belly. We could see it clearly under the waters surface and were able to observe some great

Again very good conditions - we headed out even further during this tour and spotted a blow in a huge distance, a few times in a row, and speeded up to get closer. But when we came to the area where we expected the whale, no blow was visible again and no trace of a whale - w

No whales on this tour! We saw very few birds feeding in the bay, which is a sign that there might not be much food around for the whales either. But this situation will pass as it has in previous years, and the whales will soon be

We had the same good weather conditions in the afternoon. This time we searched a long time for whales. And once again when we were starting to lose hope, suddenly a small group of cute harbour porpoises appeared! After enjoying them for a little while we went back to the ha

An afternoon with a big surprise. We started the tour by visiting Puffin Island where we again saw a lot of puffins. It seems that they will start breeding soon. We didn´t expect to see much on this tour because we hadn't found any whales on the morning tour. For quite a whi

Another beautiful and exciting day out in Faxafloi: three sightings of white-beaked dolphins in really big groups of more than 10 individuals! They were speeding up, moving in circle, we even had a goupr of four individuals jumping all together at the same time! Really spect

It was a long tour this afternoon! We started with the puffin island where we saw many, many of the cute little birds sitting and flying around. Far out in Faxaflói bay we found a nice group of dolphins that we were able to enjoy very much. They didn´t approach the boat but

It was rainy this morning when we went out but surprisingly it turned to be a very exciting tour! In fact, we had one sighting of a minke whale with which we stayed around 40 min. This

In the afternoon we really had to be patient. We had to sail for quite a while and we went much further out than usual to find some whales. We were almost about to give up when we spotted a group of white-beaked dolphins. It seemd that they had a calf so they were a bit shy.

Although the wind picked up a little bit, observation conditions were still very good. Close to coast we spotted two minke whales and several groups of harbour porpoises. We went to Puffin Island as well and watched the teeming puffin colony...

It had started to rain but the sea still was very calm - this tour staretd also with spotting some Harbour porpoises but they were more in a distance. Two groups of White-beaked Dolphins were spotted a little bit later, one with a calf and rather shy, keeping their distance,

Although the first trip was packed with wildlife we had no luck on this second. Only a few harbour porpoises appeared and disappeared fastly next to our boat. Still we could enjoy the puffin crowd on Puffin Island

Again we went out quite far in good weather conditions. Closer to the so called Whale Fiord we observed a minke whale feeding in association with sea birds. Another time we had some beautiful encounters with Puffins close to the boat.

The afternoon tour started with encountering the White-beaked Dolphins, that we did't see for quite a while. They were approaching us several times and diving under the boat, great to watch. Harbour porpoises were also spotted during this tour, but not as nicely as during th
