It did not take us long before we stumbled upon 2 humpback whales that were very relaxed. We watched them for over half an hour before we decided to move away as boats were accumulating around the whales.

We went to similar areas as we did in the morning, but it took us a long time to find our first whale. We then saw the blow from a humpback whale quite far away, and it was blowing very frequently. As we got closer, we realised that there was another humpback whale right next to it!

We journeyed out into Faxafloi with every seat filled, stopping at one of our preferred destinations to scout the area. After a short pause, our captain saw the blow of a humpback whale within 500 metres, but we soon discovered that in fact it was two individuals and appeared to be the pair from yesterday.

It was a group of 3 white beaked dolphins that came at us two times but then was playing a bit hard to get. We then saw another 2 humpback whales that were quite close. One of those humpbacks started peduncle slapping, tail-slapping and lobe slapping. We admire the show and started coming back to Reykjavik. We stopped when we found 2 minke whales!
