Sea conditions were still the same but the Minke Whales were great. Saw at least 4-7 individuals. They were surfing the waves and surfacing many times and on occasion 20-30 meters from us. Great tour.

It was along journey to find the whales on this tour but once we got there after about 1-1hr 20mins sailing the Minke Whales were great. Must of seen at least 5 or 6 individuals. They surfaced many times and 30-40 meters from the boat too. On the way there we also got to sme

We headed straight out to Faxaflói to find the whales again. And they were still in the same area, busy feeding so it was quite ease to find them again. This time we spotted 4-6 minke whales and a small group of harbour porpoises. We stayed with them for a while, enjoyed the

The weather was great this afternoon when we headed out from Reykjavík. Close to the area were we found the whales this morning we spotted our first minke whale. But there was not only one in the area, at least 4-5 minke whales and a small group of harbour porpoises showed u

The Minke Whales were difficult on this tour only surfacing once or twice before going for a deep dive then surfacing again very far away that we couldn't locate it again. We maybe saw 3-4 whales on this tour but only a short time with each. The highlight of the tour were th

We headed straight out to the area where we were this morning hoping to see the same as this morning but on the way we came upon a small pod of White-beaked Dolphins which weren't that interested in us so we stayed a couple of minutes then left them alone. I think the Minkes

We were going to start our tour at Puffin Island but on the way we were lucky to come across a small pod of Harbour Porpoises which surfaced close and many times. At Puffin Island we saw only 4 Puffins and only 1 out in Faxaflói. Further offshore we observed a small pod of a

Tour at 13:00

This afternoon we started out by visiting Akurey where the Puffins live during the summer. Some of them were sitting at the surface around the island and others were flying but not many on the island itself. We then headed out. The wind was behind us so the ride out to Faxaf

Tour at 13:00

It was still a bit windy and the sun was shining when we headed out to Faxaflói this afternoon. We stopped by the puffin island Akurey and saw some puffins. We sailed very far out and spent a long time searching for whales. Finally we found a group of white-beaked dolphins.

Tour at 13:00

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
