Whale diary

This morning, we enjoyed sightings of a humpback whale surfacing multiple times and swimming near our boat. A swift minke whale also passed by as we returned to Reykjavik under sunny skies. All tour for the rest of the day were unfortunately cancelled due to unfavourable weather conditions in the bay.

The morning tour started with a humpback whale giving a majestic deep dive, followed by two more humpback whales and a brief sighting of a minke whale. The afternoon tour found two elusive minke whales and then spent over an hour watching three stunning humpback whales lunge diving!

Today we were battling some winds, so we decided to head towards Hafnarfjörður. We had no success there, so we turned in the opposite direction and went nearly all the way to Hvalfjörður, in order to cover as much area as possible. Again, we were not successful, so we issued complimentary tickets so our passengers could try again.

This morning, despite the sun and manageable winds, we searched extensively but unfortunately didn't spot any marine mammals. We of course issued complimentary tickets in hopes our passengers can return another day and have another chance to see the wildlife in our bay. The rest of our whale watching tours were cancelled due to weather.

Today, we encountered several pods of 10-12 white-beaked dolphins jumping close to the boat, then 3 harbour porpoises and about 10-12 minke whales with one even lunge-feeding. We also saw a crew favourite, "Davy Jones II" the humpback whale, logging, rolling and showing its pectoral fins! A gloomy day full of surprises!

While most tours ended up being cancelled due to weather, we did manage to sail out in the morning. We saw a bottling grey seal near Viðey island in the morning and two harbour porpoises in the afternoon, but due to the limited sightings, we did issue complimentary tickets in hopes our passengers are able to return and try again!

Today we encountered several pods of up to 20 white-beaked dolphins, some even travelling with their small calves. We also came across at least 3 minke whales throughout the day and 2 harbour porpoises in the early evening. The last two tours of the day ended up issuing complimentary tickets due to minimal sightings.

We encountered several humpback whales today, including "Mr. Bubbles", displaying fluke dives and even lunge feeding. The morning started slowly, with only birds and puffins spotted before finding a humpback. In the afternoon, sightings of the humpback continued, along with a brief appearance by two harbour porpoises.

Multiple pods of harbour porpoises were seen today, including a pod of 7-8 individuals. We spotted at least six different humpback whales, with "Davy Jones" among them, often displaying fluke dives. A minke whale was also sighted briefly. The calm seas allowed for clear views of these cetaceans making for a great day on the water!

Today we enjoyed calm waters and clear skies, spotting a minke whale and two pods of harbour porpoises. Later tours also encountered a friendly humpback whale known to us as "Davy Jones II", along with white-beaked dolphins and even more minke whales. Another tour had a brief minke whale sighting but ended up issuing complimentary tickets.

Throughout the day, we encountered multiple humpback whales on each tour, with some offering close fluke dives and even breaching. The afternoon tour saw an impressive lunge dive, while the evening tour ended with a humpback surrounded by at least 15 diving gannets plunging into the sea. A truly magnificent day in the bay!

Throughout the day, we encountered numerous humpback whales and minke whales across multiple tours, with sightings of harbour porpoises during both the afternoon and late tours. The evening tour was less fortunate, with only harbour porpoises spotted, leading to the issuance of complimentary tickets for our guests.

This morning, we encountered a humpback whale that pec slapped and surfaced close to the boat, but it went on long dives, leading to us issuing complimentary tickets. Later in the day, after spotting many seabirds, we finally found another humpback whale, surfacing regularly and showing its fluke, giving everyone a great experience.

Today we spotted multiple humpback whales, including some feeding close to shore and even breaching in the distance. A rare encounter with a fin whale delighted us all throughout the day, alongside sightings of a minke whale and a pod of harbour porpoises. It turned out to be quite a successful day, despite the windy conditions in the bay!

We had fantastic sightings in Faxaflói bay today. We observed multiple humpback whales, including familiar individuals like "Hooker" and "Davy Jones II", along with minke whales. We also spotted several pods of harbour porpoises and even had a rare sighting of a fin whale that left everyone in awe, making it an unforgettable day!

Today we encountered a minke whale, harbour porpoises and several humpback whales, including the familiar "Davy Jones"! Unfortunately we had to cancel some of our tours due to unfavourable conditions and one tour ended up issuing complimentary tickets due to uneventful sightings. We hope to see everyone back again soon!
