    Tour at 20:30

    What a beautiful evening. One of the best sunsets I've seen this summer and really nice seeing Reykjavik lit up on our way back to the harbour. We started at Akurey and there wasn't many there, it was like spotting Waldo but nice to think they are snuggled up in their burrow

    We started by sailing to the puffin Island Lundey in a bit calmer weather where we saw few puffins and many kittiwakes. After that we sailed further out in search for whales but unfortunately the bay was very empty or the white tops of the waves were making it difficult for

    We headed out in a beautiful weather and started the tour by visiting Lundey, the puffin island. After that we sailed out and only after few minuets a passenger spotted a minke whale. This whale was surfacing again and again so this was great sighting for us. Then later on w

    A very disappointing tour in all aspects for both the passengers and the crew. Once again Faxaflói Bay was lifeless. Not even a blow from a whale in the distance and if that wasn't enough the Midnight sun didn't show its self either and hid behind the clouds. The best thing

    We sailed out in a beautiful weather, the wind had calmed down even more. Sailed straight out to Faxaflói bay, and it took us a while until we spotted our first whales, the harbour porpoises. They were lot of fun to watch, surfacing many times in front of us with the sun nex

    Could not believe how calm the sea looked on this tour just after a couple of hours of it blowing a gale. We started at Akurey to see the Puffins and most were sitting on the waters surface rather than on the Island itself. Then we headed out into Faxaflói Bay, kept going, k

    We headed out to Faxaflói in a really calm and warm weather. Only after few minuets we saw the first minke whale. It surfaced many many times in front of us and we could see how it was following the food! For a moment we lost it, but a little later, suddenly we saw it JUMPIN

    Report from Elding: At Akurey on the way out it was the same as it was on the tour before, only few Puffins around and it was rather difficult with the whales as well to begin with. Perfect weather, calm sea and so peaceful. We had to search for a long time and go really far

    We sailed out on Elding this time, clouds were gone and the sun had started to shine. We started the trip with a visit in Akurey. This time we didn't see many Puffins on the island

    We started the tour at Akurey to see the Puffins and there were lots to be seen. As we were leaving the island we noticed a strange moving shape on the waters surface which seemed out of place. Off we ran to get a better look in the binoculars and too our amazement we found

    The weather was really beautiful when we headed out this evening. Not so many puffins at home at Akurey, but at least few of them :) After a short time in Faxaflói we spotted our first minke whale! This one was really nice surfacing many many times in front of the boat, only

    We started the tour by visiting the Puffin Island but we didn't find many birds there. Then we headed further out in search for whales. We spotted a blow in the distance and went right away into that area. When we came closer we realised there were 2 Minke Whales there, a ca

    One of my favourite tours of the day with the beautiful midnight sun. Again we started at Akurey but very few at home, hopefully snuggled up in their borrows. We went to a different area on this tour as the last couple of tours were difficult but the result was pretty much t

    OMG!!! What a fun tour! A big group of girls from the UK definitely made this tour into the party boat of the century. What made it even better were the Minke Whales. After about 40 minutes of sailing we saw a massive flock of feeding seabirds in the distance and beneath the

    Starting the tour on Lundey, we were surprised to find many Puffins not home. We found them once we came into the bay though: A big flock of them far away from their colony, no doubt looking for some sandeel for their young on
