It was still snowing a bit in the afternoon but the wind calmed down. This made for good whale watching conditions in the beginning of the tour. In the same area as yesterday we spotted our hero of the tour: one particularly nice minke whale. We watched it for quite a while
Again we had lovely weather in the afternoon and very good whale watching conditions! Much earlier than expected we spotted the first whales. There were at least four minke whales and they were easy to watch. Some really nice and "whale-watching-friendly" harbour porpoises s
Lovely weather and really good sightings this afternoon. A lot of different groups of harbour porpoises, spectacularly approching, fast swimming and surfacing together really close to our vessel. Minke whale sightings have been great as well: two individuals less than 30 met
A lovely weather has been with us during the all trip: clear shy, excellent visibility and white mountain peaks. During our morning whale-watching trip a big group of harbour porpoises has been spotted but no other whale species unfortunately have been seen.
Trip cancelled due to bad weather and sea conditions
During our morning trip the weather has been teasing up a bit, with a choppy sea and a strong wind. Even if there was fish in the water and a lot of different kind of birds species flying close t
On this tour we encountered a group of 5 White-beaked dolphins right in the beginning, they were quite playful and we observed them for a while before heading further out in the bay. It was a hard search but far outside in the bay we finally sotted a Minke Whale and it surfa
After only a few minutes a huge group of white-beaked dolphins came along, passing by, porpoising and breeching - great to obeserve for quite a while. The search for the Minke Whale took us much longer on this tour, but we finally came to an area with at least 2 individuals.
This time we first encountered a group of White-beaked dolphins, quite a few of some widely distributed in the area, all around the boat. Great to watch them! For the minke whales we had to be patient quite a while, but managed to find them far outside. Again, a lot of seab

After middday the wind increased again - on this tour we ecnountered a lot of white-beaked dolphins, porpoising, playing around the boat, chasing the waves and jumping completely out of the water. Harbour porpoises were spotted, too, quite a few of them always surfacing some
Wind increased again - we headed out with a handful of brave tourists. Great encounter with harbour porpoises - twice we could observe a big group of them swimming around the boat for quite a while, rarely observed that well as they use to be rather shy. But sorry - no other
Very strong wind conditions in the bay of Faxaflói close to Reykjavík and therefore we went whalewatching from Sandgerði further south. It didn´t take long to spot a group of 8 white-beaked dolphins. We sailed around the south-western tip of the Reykjanes peninsula, but did´
In the beginning of the tour we tried to find the orca again, but unfortunately could't spot it again. So we headed out into Faxaflói and encountered a very big group of Harbour porpoises, at least 10 came up a lot of times, surfacing very slowly and great to observe.
Harbour porpoises and white-beaked dolphins!
Minke whale, harbour porpoises and white-beaked dolphins!
The tour was cancelled due to the strong weather conditions.
We went on two trips today and spotted a lot of Harbour porpoises on both tours. Weather conditions became rather strong during the day, making it quite difficult to search the water surface for wildlife, stherefore we have been lucky to observe the little Porpoises.
