    We sailed out from Grindavík harbour today in a beautiful but cold weather. We had very active bird life in the bay so we were really hoping that the birds would lead the way to the whales. We sailed for a long time without any luck, but then suddenly we found a pod of white

    Well we thought yesterday was good but today proved to be even better. We started the tour in a snow storm and so we couldn't see 5m in front of our faces. Then the sky lifted to show the beautiful snow capped mountains and winter light. Once the sky cleared we could see the

    The tour today was lovely. We got to see two pods of White-beaked Dolphins, one pod starting playing around the boat but they only came that close for a short period and a couple of times the rest of the time we watched them resting and socialising a bit further away under t

    Another beautiful day on the bay. We had some waves though but otherwise it was beautiful all around us with snow - dressed mountains. We sailed for quite some time before seeing anything. Suddenly we saw a flock of feeding birds so we slowed down and scanned that area. No l

    We sailed out in a cold and beautiful weather from Reykjavík harbour this afternoon. We sailed for a long time without seeing any signs of the whales. After a long search we finally saw lot of seabirds so we decided to search there. No luck there but a nice surprise when a g
