    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

    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

    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
