Whale diary

Soon after we left the harbour this morning, we saw a pod of 15 white-beaked dolphins with a calf amongst them! We then spotted a minke whale and a humpback whale, the same individual from yesterday and then two more further out. In the afternoon we saw 2 pods of harbour porpoises close to the harbour and a lot of white-beaked dolphins. Then we found a humpback whale and a minke whale!

We saw about 4-5 white-beaked dolphins this morning, then at least two humpback whales, beautifully showing its fluke as well as a minke whale. In the afternoon we went to a similar area and quite quickly found one of the humpback whales from this morning as well as 3 white-beaked dolphins appeared jumping in big splashes.

This morning the water was super flat all the way through the ride. We eventually spotted around 10 white-beaked dolphins displaying for us different behaviours such as bow riding, jumping, socialising and traveling. In the afternoon we spotted a tall blow in the distance, that turned out to be a humpback whale and later we also found a minke whale!

It didn't take too long to find wildlife this morning as we spotted a minke whale just metres from our front, then a pod of 15-20 very spaced out white-beaked dolphins! In the afternoon we also saw a minke whale, however as we go closer it completely disappeared. We therefore we decided to give out complimentary tickets to all our passengers!

We sailed out in Faxaflói, admiring sunrise for a while, when we spotted a tall blow in the distance which turned out to be a humpback whale, then a pod of 6-7 white-beaked dolphins, travelling calmly. In the afternoon we found 2 pods of harbour porpoises that surfaced nicely and then also about 10 minke whales!

We had lovely calm conditions on the water today, although it was bitterly cold. In all, we spotted 2 harbour porpoises, 3-5 minke whales including one that came a bit closer and about 3-5 white-beaked dolphins on our tours today, including a smaller juvenile in this pod sticking very close to its mother!

This morning we saw a few white-beaked dolphins and a big blow that we were unable to follow. In the afternoon we saw a huge splash that belonged to a breaching humpback whale (likely the owner of the blow from the morning), accompanied by 5-10 white beaked dolphins and about 5 minke whales in the same area!

The day was quite grey but there was finally barely any wind at sea and just a few long waves. Although we saw 2 harbour porpoises and a pod of 3 white-beaked dolphins in the morning, we decided to offer the passengers complimentary tickets. The afternoon tour, in addition to that, also saw a minke whale and a humpback whale!
