Today we headed out from Hafnarfjörður harbour in a really nice weather. After sailing for 15 min we saw a really small group of Harbour porpoises, they surfaced only few times before disappearing. Then we headed further out. We found lots of feeding gannets and other birds

Today we set out from Hafnarfjörður on two boats Hafsúlan and Elding. The weather was nice but the wind was speeding up during the tour. Elding spotted the first group of White-beaked Dolphins. But when Hafsúlan arrived the dolphins had disappeared. We kept on and finally we

We departed from Hafnarfjörður today. All conditions were perfect for whale watching but we had to sail for a long time before we found anything. It was a small group of White Beaked Dolphins. Even though we could not observe them for long everyone got to see them up close,

Tour at 13:00

We headed out from Hafnarfjörður today. The weather was ok, some wind and a little rain but the sea was calm which is the most important factor for us. We went over a vast aria and to make a long story short, there were now whales around. Once we thought we were getting luck

We sailed out from Reykjavik harbour this early afternoon. It was a nice outing, with clear sky, excellent visibility and flat sea conditions. Just the very cold air and the low temperature reminded us it was January. Unless, conditions were excellent and we had a few flocks of

We sailed out from Hafnarfjörður, this early afternoon with a good weather: clear sky, calm sea and almost no wind. Visibility was perfect, and the scenery was really stunning.  We sailed long before stopping next to a flock of feeding gannets. There were lesser black-backed gu

We left Hafnarfjörður and for two and a half hour we found nothing. The sea was calm and the sun was shining so it was even more frustrating not to find any whales, with these god conditions. But then, as we were about to give up and head home we encountered a big group of W

We are very sorry but the tour is cancelled. The weather is must worse on the bay then the weather forecast predicted yesterday, if the wind is over 10-12 m per sec it is critical but now it is up to 24 m per sec so there is no way of going out on sea with passengers.  Pleas

Today we sailed out from Hafnarfjörður as we have been doing a lot lately. After some 50 minutes of sailing, in wonderful weather, we spotted a small group of White beaked Dolphins. They seemed to have something against us watching them, trying to swim away all the time, so

We sailed out this s early afternoon from Hafnarfjörður. It was a rather cold day but with great light conditions and almost no wind. We were sailing from a while when we actually spotted a pointed brownish fin. Then a second time. The third we realized it was a white-beaked do

Dear reader. It does not happen often that we have Orcas/Killer Whales in Faxaflói so it gives me much pleasure to report that we only needed about 20 minutes to find the same family of Orcas we saw yesterday. They swam calmly and did not mind at all as we were staying close

We headed out from Hafnarfjörður today. Visibility was pour and it was raining cats and dogs. After some searching we found a group of  White-beaked dolphins, maybe six animals. They came very close and swam along side us, even under the boat. After a while they disappeared
