    It was quite windy out on Faxaflói this morning, but we took some brave passengers out there to look for the whales. In spite of the big waves, the strong wind and the rain, we found plenty of Minke whales, pr

    Again we found lots of Harbour Porpoises throughout the trip. We also spotted again a few Minke whales, and got a close look at a few of them. Another successful trip, very similar to this morning, but a bit windier! The forecast predicts some very windy days up ahead, but h

    In the Faxafloi bay the wind was strong today. But the sun was shining through the grey clouds and there were rainbows all around us:) A Minke whale surfaced far from us, but we sailed towards it and were able to observe it very well. When it disappeared we very soon found a

    The passanger had to show quite much patience on this tour and the wind picked a bit. We spend a lot time searching for whales. But we were able to spot one quite good minke whale which surfaced several time in front of the boat. Later we had a nice group of the shy harbour

    The wind had slowed down a bit so we decided to head out to look for the whales. It rained for most of the trip, and at the beginning things weren't looking very good. We briefly spotted 2 Minke whales and a small group of Harb

    Unfortunately, neither of our two boats (Elding and Hafsúlan) which went out were able to spot any whales! Our guide and first mate on Elding spotted a big blow of the Humpback whale about 300 metres away, but it went for a deep dive and we weren't able to spot it again. Our

    At the beginning of our tour we spotted very soon some Harbour porpoises, a group of them, they were maybe just 100m in front of us. We havent seen them for a long time, so it was special to see them again. As they are shy and fast, they disappeared. But a Minke whale appear

    It was a nice afternoon out on the bay. The sea was very calm and the weather was allright too, a little rain but nothing too bad ;-) We saw a group of white-beaked dolphins first, spotted the splashes on the surface and headed over there. They were very nice, bow-riding and
