Once again it took us a while before seeing our first Minke Whale and what a great Minke it was, surfacing only 20-30 meters from our boat. We were also lucky on this tour to view the spectacular feeding behaviour of the Northern Gannets as they plunge into the water after f
The wind had picked up a bit more when we headed out again this afternoon. We sailed to the area where we spotted the whales earlier this morning, but there was no sign of them, and no bird’s either. So we headed further out. We spent a long time searching but had no luck
We headed straight out to the same area we found the humpback this morning, hoping to find it again. When we came to the area we spotted a minke whale and them a big blow. It was the humpback again. What luck. The bird live was very active in the area, diving gannets among o
The wind had calmed down even more on this tour but it was still pretty cold. We headed straight out into Faxaflói and after about 40 minutes it was a Minke Whale that found us. It surfaced 60 meters in front of our vessel. It didn't want to stay long but we did get a great

Just when you thought today couldn't get any better it surprises you! The sea was even calmer than what it was this morning and the sightings were even more incredible. We started at Puffin Island this time and saw not only Puffins but many other birds also including; Geese (t
The weather was very nice, calm sea and the sun was peaking out from the clouds. The puffin island was nice but the whales were hiding from us, except three harbour porpoises which showed up two times before disappearing. We sailed quite far out, searching for whales and eve
Again the sun was out but the cold Icelandic wind cancelled out the warmth from the sun. We started the tour at Akurey (Puffin Island) and saw many on and around the island with a couple flying very close to the boat. We then headed further North to an area where we have bee
The weather was getting better when we set out this afternoon. The puffins were all around the island. We spotted one small pod of harbour porpoises but they disappeared soon. We were searching for a long time, crossing a big whale watching area, looking for whales, but desp
Again we sailed out in great weather. Calm sea and we couldn't ask for better visibility seeing all the Reykjanes peninsula and the whole circle around to the edge of Snæfelsnes peninsula. We started the tour with a stop by Akurey to see the Puffins before heading out. On th
The weather was still very nice when we sailed out to Faxaflói bay this afternoon. We had to sail very far out to find the whales. First we spotted a pod of Harbour porpoises, a very nice one. Further out we finally found the minke whales. First one surfaced only 4 times bef
Again we sailed out in a beautiful weather. We headed out to Lundey to look at some puffins but there were no puffins to see, only few flying around the island, they were all out at the bay. Than we headed out to Faxaflói bay, after a while we spotted a great group of harbou
Soon after we left the harbour we spotted something far away. When we came closer we saw it was a pad of white-beaked dolphins. They were very nice but the second pod we found was even better. This group was fantastic, surfacing all around us and we could see them quite well
The weather continued being very nice. Calm sea but it started to rain. We found two groups of white-beaked dolphins, one very small and one much bigger. The second group came quite close to the boat. We also spotted lots of harbour porpoises and they were very nice to us to
The weather was very nice, calm sea and the sun was shining. The puffins were still on the island and around it. But the whales were not around this afternoon. We spotted two minke whales but they only surfaced one time and we could not find them again and none of our passen
The weather was absolutely beautiful when we sailed out again this afternoon, calm sea and the sun was peaking out from the clouds. And the luck was with us again today, we spotted at least 5 to 7 minke whales, some came very close to our boat many times, other surfaced furt
The conditions on the bay were excellent and it had even stopped raining. We started the tour with a short stop by Akurey to take a look at the puffins. We saw a lot of puffins around on the water so that was really nice. Once further out we started noticing some harbour por
The wind had increased a bit from the morning tour and it was raining/snowing more. Just as on the morning tour we spotted harbour porpoises quite close to land and they were again very nice and surfacing quite close to the boat. We continued on and started spotting minke wh
