The weather was pretty nice this morning when we did head out for our morning whale-watching tour. After a short while that we were saling out we did spot a very large pod of white-beaked dolphins tha

This morning we decided to leave from the harbour in Hafnafjörður. The wind was very strong and we seareched for whales close to the shore and close to the harbour where we found yesterday a lot of dolphins. A
The wind picked up a bit this late afternoon but we tried to go out and we actually had a nice our out at sea. In fact, we could spotted first a couple of white-beaked dolphins and then going a bit closer to coast we had the chance to stay for quite a long time witha group of a
The weather was still very calm and soon we spotted the first harbour porpoises. Again they were easy to follow and fun to watch. We spotted two minke whales as well on this tour and the first one surfaced a few times so we could enjoy it quite well. The second one disappea
The wind went down and the sky got a bit cloudy but the sea was as flat as oil. Perfect to spot whales! Minke whales were still the most abundant out there, followed y harbour porpoises which were still very numerous. White-beaked dolphins were many, more than 15 approaching us
The sea was flat and calm, Minke whales were around 4-5 and we could spot again one whale, we met already the past two summer seasons. Very close to coast surprisingly we encountered a very large group of at least 7 maybe 10 white-beaked dolphins, which were socializing and fee
Weather got even better than during the morning. We came back to the feeding ground and Minkes were there, feeding, mainly with birds like gannets and auks around. 3-4 dolphins were still in the area and we could enjoy them for a while.

This afternoon we moved the boat to Keflavík harbour, as we have done several times before when we have this wind direction. We had shelter from the land so for most of the trip the sea was nice and calm. We spotted several Minke whales throughout the trip in one area where
On this tour we got two brief visitors: two white-beaked dolphins which suddenly appeared in front of the boat and bowrode. Then they left as suddenly as the came. After that we spent some time searching and spotted a very active group of harbour porpoises. They swam very fa

We sailed from Reykjavík harbour on this beautiful Easter Sunday. The wind was a bit strong, but it wasn't too bad ;-) First we caught a glimpse of a group of harbour porpoises, but they were very quick to disappear. We sailed on f
Again no whales! And again we searched a big, big area, and we went further out, but couldn´t spot any whales. The weather got worse during the day and it was pretty cold on this tour. Well, bad luck today, but as we always say, this is nature, too, even if we don't like it.
We sailed again from Grindavík, and the wind had picked up a little more, but still the sea was pretty calm. We spotted a group of Orca at the beginning of the trip, and after we left them we sailed and sailed but didn't find any more whales, unfortunately. We made a stop at
The wind picked up a bit but still the whale watching conditions were rather good. Our sightings for this tour were again two different family groups of white-beaked dolphins. Both groups were really active and nice to watch. They showed a lot of interest in the boat and app
At the end of the morning tour we left the dolphins rather far out in Faxaflói bay. Therefore we were very surprised to find them again very close to the harbour. They were as funny and curious as in the morning. Once again we always had several white-beaked dolphins with us
The weather was at its best, no wind at all and good visibility as we headed out on the bay. After 30 minutes we saw a big group of Harbour Porpoises, swimming slowly and came close to the boat several times. Then another group and ten minutes later we saw the first of many
Only 15 minutes out we encountered a big group of White beaked Dolphins. They turned out to be quite playful and came very close to the boat. Further out two groups of Harbour Porpoises, one of them extremely tame and curios. After that we sailed for a long time until one of
The rain stopped and the sun came out, the wind calmed down almost completely, very good whale watching conditions. We knew it might be difficult to find the humpback again, but we tried. It wasn't any longer where we left it in the morning. We decided to search farther out
We started the tour from Reykjavík harbour this time. The sea was calm but it seemed like the ocean was empty, even no birds. Then we spotted a little group of Harbour porpoises. This group was very shy and disappeared very quickly. After a while the captain saw a group of W
This tour was speacial, indeed!!! We spent more than two hours searching for whales, but the ocean seemed to be empty. The dolphins were gone and even the birds were gone. Very dissapointing for every body, but I tried to explain that this is nature and that it can happen fr
The wind had picked up a lot, but we trusted that the humpback would be close enough to the harbour and didn't cancel the tour. Good that we tried! Shortly after leaving the harbour we were surrounded by even more feeding birds than in the morning. The gannets were especiall
