Again we set off, prepared for worsening weather, but it stayed pretty similar to the trip this morning. We set off to the same area and found the Minke whales again. This time some we were even able to spot a Minke whale lunge feeding at the surface. Lunge feeding is when t
The wind had picked up a bit since this morning and it started raining, too. At the same area like in the morning we found the minke whales again. They made it a bit more difficult for us this time. They liked to dive rather a longer time and stayed mostly it bit further awa
The whales moved again further out and we had to search for a longer time. But we got rewarded by the sightings of many feeding minke whales!!! We spotted whales wherever we looked and we spent much time just sailing slowly around from minke whale to minke whale. It was not
We set off towards a similar area where we were this morning, but on the way suddenly a group of harbour porpoises just popped up in front of the boat, just 20m away. We spotted them a couple of times but they soon disappeared. We headed on further and came to the area where
Again we headed out with some nice weather. We found a group of white-beaked dolphins which swam towards us and it seemed that they swam underneath the boat. We weren't able to spot them again, as we were distracted when a Minke whale showed up quite unexpectedly! We were ab
Report from Elding: What a surprise! We spotted a minke whale quite early! It liked to dive a rather longer time but we were patient and got to see it several times. It was feeding at the bottom and stayed always in the same area so we could easily spot it when it came up to
The whales were still in a teasing mood! Like this morning our passengers had to be very patience. The whales stayed again very far out in Faxaflói bay. But our there we spotted a group of white-beaked dolphins. And what a surprise! There were two mothers with their calves.
Shortly after we left the harbour we found a small group of white beaked dolphins. They where not in a whale watching mood so we vent on, only to stop again with some groups of harbour porpoises They where quite nice, coming towards us more then once and swimming close to th
Another lovely trip with a nice calm sea. We headed towards the same area as we were before and again passed through this area where there were lots and lots of Harbour porpoises. We then sailed a bit further and again found a lot of Minke whales, probably 10-20 in one area.
Again we sailed out with a nice calm sea. We found the Harbour porpoises in the same area as this morning and had a look at them for a while. We then headed on a bit further and again, spotted some white-beaked dolphins jumping in the distance. As we approached they stopped
The whales weren't in such good mood this afternoon and made it rather difficult for us. Right in the beginning we spotted some really nice harbour porpoises. Then we spent much time searching for minke whales. We spotted some but could never get really close to them. Just a
Again we left from the harbour of Grindavík. We headed straight out to the area were we spotted the humpback whale on the 13:00 tour and started searching. We searched and searched for a long time and covered a large area, but unfortunately the humpback whale was nowhere to
The wind had calmed down in Grindavík so we sailed from there again this afternoon. The sea was beautiful and we sailed around a very large area searching all around. It took us quite a long time to find anything but towards the end of the trip, actually very close to Grinda
We headed to the same area where we had the Humpback whale earlier and had to sail a little bit further before we spotted the huge blow of the whale. We approached and found that it was the same whale that we had on our previous trip! It was diving a little bit longer at the
Cancelled due to strong winds and rough conditions!
Report from Elding: Wild nature is so unpredictable, we had a completely different trip than this morning. We sailed first towards a group of feeding Gannets where we could also spot a gr
The weather this afternoon was perfect but the wind was getting stronger. We headed out to the same area where we had the Minke Whales earlier today and we spotted tree or four minke whales. Some of them came several times close to the boat but they were deep diving for a lo
A perfect way to end a great day - We had a "full house" on this tour! That's what we call it when we spot all four species of the bay in the same tour: harbour porpoises, white beaked dolphins, minke whales and a HUMPBACK WHALE!!! We haven't seen the humpbacks since the 17t
This trip really proved how unpredictable the wild nature can be. We headed out to the same area where we had the Minke whales earlier today and we spotted one or two Minke whales but just surfacing once then we couldn't see them again, so we headed out further. We saw a gro
We had another wet and windy trip and the sea was still pretty rough. The trip was very similar to the trip at 9:00 this morning. We started by seeing a Minke whale breaching in the distance but it stopped once we got close to the area where it was. We spotted a couple of Mi
Harbour porpoises were the first specie that we spotted on this tour. We only saw it coming up once so we sailed further out and spotted few minke whales. Than we spotted a very curious group of white beaked dolphins and sometimes they were just one mete
