Given the strong south-westerly winds in the bay, the tour departed from Keflavík this evening. We started out in rather pleasant and calm weather, visiting the bird colony near the harbour of Keflavík and getting a close-up look at the juvenile Kittiwakes that just hatched
This evening we still had nice weather. First we spotted some splashes of Harbour Porpoises and spotted them quite far away before they disappeared. But short after that we spotted our first Minke Whale. We could follow this whale for a few minutes before we headed further o
The sea conditions got a little rougher on this tour and it took us a while before we saw our first whale. It was Harbour Porpoises first which surfaced 8-10 times before disappearing then we headed to where the Gannets were diving and that's where we saw our first Minke Wha
AMAZING TOUR!!!!! Still pretty rough weather but we probably wouldn't see what we did see without it. First great thing was the pod of Harbour Porpoises that were in the swell surfacing together in a line but they didn't stick around long. Then we suddenly saw a Minke Whale
Sailed out on this tour to mirror calm seas and great cetaceans. We only saw one Minke Whale but what a Minke it was. Surfaced many times and on occasion 15-20 meters from our boat. We also came across a couple of pods of Harbour Porpoises which where surfacing 10 meters fro
We headed out in a great weather this afternoon. Soon we spotted very playful harbour porpoises! They were leaping out of the water, giving us a good chance to observe them very well. After a while we decided to head further out and try to find something else. We went very f
We headed out this evening in nice whale watching weather but later the wind picked up and we had some rain. Unfortunately we didn't spot any whale but complimentary tickets were given. This evening we had the longest trip ever this summer because we really wanted to find so
The weather was just perfect for a whale watching tour! Very soon in our tour we found some harbour porpoises! They were surfacing only 30 meters away from us but they were little bit shy, so we decided to head further out. After a little while we saw a minke whale! This wha
The wind had picked up a little on this tour and the whales were a lot further out than previous tours. However, we found them. We saw at least 1 Minke Whale on this tour but maybe two but they stayed quite a distance away. Then we had Harbour Porpoises which were surfacing
The weather was still really good when we headed out to find the whales. After a short time we found a minke whale! This one was being little bit hard to follow so we decided to head further out. Only few minuets later we spotted our second minke whale. We were able to follo
Still sunshine weather when we headed out to our last tour for today. After we reached the whale watching area we spotted a Minke Whale that we could follow for some time. We also spotted the Harbour Porpoises again, quite a big pod this evening. Then we headed further out a

Again we headed straight out to Faxaflói bay, it took some time until we spotted a blow, but nothing else than that we waited around but never saw the whale it self only the blow. After a while again some passengers spotted a whale pretty close by, but once again it was never
Now the wind had picked up when we headed out to Faxaflói. After some time we spotted a minke whale in the waves. This minke came up 6-7 times for us and sometimes only 40 meters away from us! Then this one swam away and we had to search a big area. No more whales today, but
A very unsuccessful tour in all accounts, still quite rough weather, no whales, no puffins and hardly any seabirds. Lets hope this isn't the end of the summer season. But what is down can only go up. What was nice to see was the beautiful light over Reykjavik. Complimentary
Report from Elding: We sailed out in a sunny but windy weather, again we found the minke whale really close to land between Engey and Viðey and also really close to Viðey or only maybe 5 meters away. It surfaced very close to the boat very calmly and all of a sudden it breac

First we started by visiting the puffins at Lundey, but we only saw 4 puffins flying around. Than we headed on and after 5 minutes we spotted our first minke whale, very close to land. It was surfacing very calmly next to us m
We headed straight out to Faxaflói to find the whales. After a while we found a minke whale. This whale was slowly surfacing just next to us, only 20 meters away from the boat, so many times! We stayed with that minke whale for a while and it was very lovely, being very clos
We headed straight out into Faxaflói Bay and after about 40 minutes of sailing we found our first Minke Whale. However this Minke had company already from another whale watching vessel so we stayed with it only for a short time. Then we headed out a little further and found
We went straight out into the whale watching area; the weather was perfect and the visibility as well. We spotted a group of White Beaked Dolphins passing by but after that we didn't spot anything. We enjoyed the sunset and the beautiful weather so in spite of no whales, the
