In the afternoon we decided to sail from Reykjavík towards Hafnafjörður. We hoped to spot some Whales in this area and the sea condition seemed to be better on that side of Faxaflói Bay. Unfortunately the whales were not around even the sea was calm and it should not been a
We sailed out from Hafnafjörður on this tour because we saw many seabirds from land as we were driving to Keflavík this morning. However, by the time we were there all the birds had disappeared. We sailed very far out into Faxaflói Bay, further than we have been in a long ti
What a beautiful day even though very cold. Blue skies and snow capped mountains. An amazing scenery to see from sea. We saw a large pod of White-beaked Dolphins today (7-13 individuals) which seemed to be resting but is was really nice to see them quite close and the blow (
In the beginning of the tour we had really nice weather, even the sun came out and the sea was calm. Just a few minutes after we left the harbour in Keflavík we spotted the first Humpback Whale! It seemed to be busy feeding on the herring that stays close to the coast in thi
The weather was very nice when we headed out again from Keflavík. Soon we spotted a small pod of white-beaked dolphins. They surfaced few times in front of us before heading away. After that we decided to go further out and look for the humpback we saw this morning. And yes
WELL WHAT A DAY!! We sailed out from Keflavík today as the wind direction was unfavourable from Hafnafjörður. We sailed in not the nicest of weathers but at least the rain stayed off us for the whole tour. We searched and searched for about an hour before we found a couple o
Well today was a real disappointment for both crew and passengers as Mr. Square our favourite Humpback Whale was no longer there. We searched and searched but alas he was gone. We did however see loads of Harbour Porpoises and many Seabirds which brightened up our day. Lucki
Because of the weather condition and the great sightings over the last weeks, we sailed again from Hafnafjörður. Just a few minutes after we left the harbour we spotted a group of Harbour Porpoises and a Seal! We decided not to stop and to head further out to search for some
We sailed out in a beautiful weather from Hafnarfjörður this afternoon. The guide was not finished with the introduction speech when he saw a blow from a whale, and yes it was our friend Mr. Square! Mr. Square is a humpback whale that has been in this area for some while. We
This day showed us, how fast the Icelandic weather can change. We started in the harbour of Hafnafjörður in sunshine, just some minutes later we got a hail shower and then sun again. During the whole tour the weather changed all 15 minutes, while we were following our favour
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 had a lovely day at sea in good weather conditions despite some rain to begin with. Early on we spotted few harbour porpoises and like previous days we were happy to encounter, all in all, three humpback whales, one of them our dear friend Mr. Square. The whales were quit
Extreme Whale Watching today with strong winds and stinging rain but the whales were really close to land so even though it was extremely windy and raining buckets the sea conditions were really good. A lot of fun today for both crew and passengers. We saw at least 4 Humpbac
Like over the last weeks we sailed again from Hafnafjörður. During the whole tour there was a really strong winds and a lot of rain, but it took us just a few minutes until we encountered a Humpback Whale! He is no stranger to us, because of his squared dorsal fin we call hi
What a perfect day to be out at sea. Flat calm sea conditions, blue skies and great visibility. Today we spent time with two Humpbacks Whales knowing that there were two others in the distance. So at least 4 Humpbacks off the coast of Hafnafjörður today. We even met Mr. Squa
The weather forecast told us it might be quite windy out in the bay today so we warned the passengers however, once we were on the water and sailing the sea conditions were perfect, almost mirror calm. The rain also stayed off of us for most of the tour which was great. The
We still drive to Hafnafjörður by bus and start our tour there. Today the weather was just amazing and the sea was really really calm. It only took us a few minutes to spot a Humpback Whale!! We decided to stay the whole tour with the Humpback as we couldn't spot any other b
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
A little bit windy and cold today out in Faxaflói Bay but that wouldn't deter the whales so why should it deter us. We saw 3 Humpbacks Whales today and spent time with two. We got to see some interesting behaviour today, including lunge feeding, tail slapping, resting, feedi
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
