Whale diary

Tour at 17:00

The wind had picked up quite a bit on this tour but still it was relatively smooth sailing in the bay. We started at Puffin Island and once again not disappointed with hundreds waddling about the island. We then headed offshore to the main area of the day. We did spot someWh

Report from Hafsúlan: After the great first tours today we sailed again into the bay. But sometimes it is strange how the marine life is changing in a few hours. On this tour we were searching for a very long time but unfortunately we could not find any bigger Whales. On the

Tour at 17:00

Report from Hafsúla The wind had picked up a little bit this evening when we sailed out. The puffins were at home in Akurey when we took our stop there. We searched for a very long time now. We saw few harbour porpoises fast swimming away from us twice. The wind was blowing

Tour at 1700 The first evening tour and it was great. It was alot nicer to have 9 passengers onboard to have more one to one contact and talk more with each. We headed very far offshore and saw many blows most likely of Minke Whales during the duration of this tour but again we only saw blows

Tours at 13:00 & 9:00

Tour at 1300

After the morning tour we were exited if the Minke Whales might be easier to watch but before we headed further out into the bay we stopped again at Akurey too look at the Puffins. Once we came to the area were we usually spot whales we started the tour with a small pod of Ha

Tour at 1300

It was raining when this tour started but it wasn´t long before it stopped again. This tour was also very productive with the wildlife. Not only did we see 3 or 4 Minkes but also many Harbour Porpoises and plunging Gannets and Puffins swimming on the waters surface. A great w

Tour at 1300

What a tour, best tour in a long time with Minke Whales (at least 10-15 individuals we saw throughout the tour) surfacing in all directions and distances, Harbour Porpoises skimming the waters in their little groups and Gannets plunging into the water a meter or two from the

Tour at 0900

The perfect day for Whale Watching, not only was the weather beautiful but the whales were in abundance. Saw many Harbour Porpoises surfacing everywhere and about 2 Minke Whales one that we went back to at the end of the tour because he/she was coming so close to the boat jus

Tour at 1300

We started in to the absolute calm Faxaflói Bay in a beautiful sunshine and just a little bit more wind than we had this morning. We could see both peninsular and the glacier far out in the bay. After we sailed for a bit into this calm and beautiful bay we came in an area wit

Tour at 1300

Report from Elding: Having high hopes after the morning tour we headed straight towards the same area again were we spotted so many Minke Whales in the morning. The weather was still great, the sky was clear and we had a lot of sun but still it was windy and the waves moved o

Tour at 1300

The weather was still nice but again alittle cold, we headed to the same area as this morning and at last on the way we saw many Harbour Porpoises, saw some surfacing only a meter of two from the boat and you could see them clearly surfing the swells. We saw a quick glimpse o

Tour at 1300

Again we sailed in a wonderful sunshine into the calm Faxaflói Bay. Just the wind got a little bit more and it was a bit more choppy this afternoon. It cleared up even more, so we could see the Glacier far away in the Bay. Again we did not sail very long until we found the fi

Tour at 1300

The wind had picked up a little on this tour so it was quite chilly so more of our passengers made use of the free overall and blankets we have onboard. The whales were more difficult on this tour too but we got to see three species. First it was Harbour Porpoises which were

Tour at 1300

Again we started into the beautiful Faxaflói Bay in brilliant weather. The afternoon even the swell was less than in the morning and it did not take us a very long time to find the first Harbor Porpoises. To find the first Minke Whale of the afternoon tour we had to search a

Tour at 1300

Even it looked like it could start to rain every minute the tour was mostly try, the only thing that could have been better was the swell that moved our boat up and down. Compared to the morning tour we had to search for a bit longer until we found our first Minke Whale. Agai

Tour at 1300

Once again we departed from Keflavík and ended the tour in Reykjavík. It was a long long tour but we really wanted to stay out a bit longer and search from these whales were ever they may be. We eventually got to the area where we saw Minke Whales and a Humpback Whale yesterd

Tour at 1300

White-beaked Dolphins, Harbour Porpoises, Puffins and Gannets seen on this tour but in not the nicest of weathers.  Not only was the sea a bit rough but it was raining :(, We went back to the area were we saw the Humpback Whale and Minkes from this mornings tour but no luck.

Tour at 1300

The swell seemed to calm down a little on this tour but you could still practice your surfing skills on the way out by bending your knees with the swells, a lot of fun. Again, we saw many Puffins and some Harbour Porpoises. We went straight to the area from the morning tour t
