Whale diary

This morning, we spotted a fast-moving minke whale and later enjoyed a playful encounter with a humpback whale near the boat. In the afternoon, another humpback whale treated us to an incredible breach and tail slapping. The evening tour encountered a minke whale, and enjoyed a spectacular sunset near Akranes.

Throughout the day, we enjoyed sightings of several minke whales, including one near the harbour that treated us to an impressive lunge feed. Later, a majestic humpback whale surfaced, thrilling us with a peduncle throw. In the afternoon, we encountered playful white-beaked dolphins bow riding, followed by more minke whales feeding.

This morning we saw a feeding pod of around 8 white-beaked dolphins, jumping close to the boat. We later encountered 3 minke whales, with one surfacing near the boat. In the afternoon, we spotted another 3 minke whales feeding, surfacing briefly before disappearing, and ending with a great close-up sighting.

Today we had amazing visibility and flat seas. We saw about 5 pods of white-beaked dolphins, a couple of feeding minke whales and 2 harbour porpoises. In the evening we sailed for a good while before we saw 3 minke whales passing by us quickly, resulting in us issuing complimentary tickets so our passengers could try again another time.

We sailed out into a chilly northern wind this morning, but at least the sun was shining on our faces. We covered a good area of the bay in search of cetaceans, but sadly we were not in lucky today and ended up offering all passengers complimentary tickets. The rest of today's tours were cancelled due to weather.

Due to unfavourable conditions, all our Whale Watching tours from Reykjavík have been cancelled today!

This morning, we enjoyed sightings of a humpback whale surfacing multiple times and swimming near our boat. A swift minke whale also passed by as we returned to Reykjavik under sunny skies. All tour for the rest of the day were unfortunately cancelled due to unfavourable weather conditions in the bay.

The morning tour started with a humpback whale giving a majestic deep dive, followed by two more humpback whales and a brief sighting of a minke whale. The afternoon tour found two elusive minke whales and then spent over an hour watching three stunning humpback whales lunge diving!

Today we were battling some winds, so we decided to head towards Hafnarfjörður. We had no success there, so we turned in the opposite direction and went nearly all the way to Hvalfjörður, in order to cover as much area as possible. Again, we were not successful, so we issued complimentary tickets so our passengers could try again.

This morning, despite the sun and manageable winds, we searched extensively but unfortunately didn't spot any marine mammals. We of course issued complimentary tickets in hopes our passengers can return another day and have another chance to see the wildlife in our bay. The rest of our whale watching tours were cancelled due to weather.

Today, we encountered several pods of 10-12 white-beaked dolphins jumping close to the boat, then 3 harbour porpoises and about 10-12 minke whales with one even lunge-feeding. We also saw a crew favourite, "Davy Jones II" the humpback whale, logging, rolling and showing its pectoral fins! A gloomy day full of surprises!

While most tours ended up being cancelled due to weather, we did manage to sail out in the morning. We saw a bottling grey seal near Viðey island in the morning and two harbour porpoises in the afternoon, but due to the limited sightings, we did issue complimentary tickets in hopes our passengers are able to return and try again!

Today we encountered several pods of up to 20 white-beaked dolphins, some even travelling with their small calves. We also came across at least 3 minke whales throughout the day and 2 harbour porpoises in the early evening. The last two tours of the day ended up issuing complimentary tickets due to minimal sightings.

We encountered several humpback whales today, including "Mr. Bubbles", displaying fluke dives and even lunge feeding. The morning started slowly, with only birds and puffins spotted before finding a humpback. In the afternoon, sightings of the humpback continued, along with a brief appearance by two harbour porpoises.

Multiple pods of harbour porpoises were seen today, including a pod of 7-8 individuals. We spotted at least six different humpback whales, with "Davy Jones" among them, often displaying fluke dives. A minke whale was also sighted briefly. The calm seas allowed for clear views of these cetaceans making for a great day on the water!

Today we enjoyed calm waters and clear skies, spotting a minke whale and two pods of harbour porpoises. Later tours also encountered a friendly humpback whale known to us as "Davy Jones II", along with white-beaked dolphins and even more minke whales. Another tour had a brief minke whale sighting but ended up issuing complimentary tickets.
