Report from Hafúlan. We were sailing for quite a while straight out into the foggy but calm Faxaflói Bay, until we saw first a blow and then a black back! When coming closer we recognized it was not only one, there were two Humpback Whales swimming side by side. As they seem

Well let's start with the end of the tour, because what is a better news than to say, that it was hard to leave because of so many cetaceans around!! We were sailing for a really long time in the foggy bay until we saw the first blow of a bigger cetacean. It was a busy feedi

The wind had picked up a bit this afternoon. We decided to try another area this time. We sailed for a loooong time all the way to the end of Reykjanes peninsula. The sea was a bit rough and no signs of the whales. We were nearly out of the bay, sailing pass Garðskagi at the

What a day. Beautiful weather, loads of cetaceans and amazing scenery. The passengers spotted White-beaked Dolphins first but they were a little bit elusive so we didn't stay long with them. Then the passengers spotted a Minke Whale which surfaced many times and quite close

Well the Spring is here and love is in the air especially for the White-beaked Dolphins when they form super pods to mate and socialise. We first got word from another whale watching vessel of a small pod of White-beaked Dolphins which we went to have a look at for a short w

Today we sailed out in a very nice weather from Reykjavík old harbour. After maybe 15 minutes of sailing another boat informed us that they had white-beaked dolphins. It was a small pod of about 5-8 individuals. We stayed with these dolphins for about 10-15 minutes before he

After three days of cancellation due to rough sea it was great to back out on the water. The weather was not the best as the drizzle reduced the visibility but that didn't stop us from seeing 3 species of cetaceans on this tour. The first species was a pod of 6-8 Harbour Por
