Today’s tour was cancelled due to unfavorable weather conditions in the fjord.

We braved the cold, snow, and fog in search of whales — gave it our best shot, but no luck today, just some awesome seabirds to keep us company.

Today’s weather was amazing, a really beautiful, calm day!
We sailed to Hrísey and unfortunately did not spot any cetaceans during today’s tours. We did spot plenty of birds and had a fantastic view while sailing in today’s weather conditions, though!

Today, we spotted Harbor Porpoises as we sailed out and two different Minke Whales! On the morning tour, we were in for a surprise as we watched one Minke Whale lunge feeding close to us!

Today, we spotted a few pods of Harbour Porpoises by Gásir as well as one Minke Whale west of Hrísey!

Sunny times, windless conditions, let’s wear a T-shirt weather!

We saw a great number of Harbour Porpoises and the first Minke Whale of the year.

We had some technical difficulties, so both tour got delayed. Read the blog to find out more.

We sailed to Hrólfssker and on the way, we encountered Harbor Porpoises and plenty of different bird species including Northern Fulmars, Long-tailed Ducks and Northern Gannets! Unfortunately, we did not spot any bigger cetaceans during today’s tours and offered everyone complimentary tickets to join us again!

Harbour porpoises are quite the shy type so we saw them a couple of times before they dived back under the sea. Rest of the cetaceans were enjoying their life somewhere in the depts, not wanting to give us a hello. That is why today all the passengers got complimentary tickets to join us again in the future, to see even more of our beautiful fjord and hopefully some other cetaceans.

Today, we were fortunate to witness a family of five orcas, including juveniles practicing tail slapping, followed by several groups of harbour porpoises and the return of long-tailed ducks and northern gannets to the fjord.

We sailed out in beautiful sunshine today and encountered some Harbour Porpoises and 2 Northern Gannets. But unfortunately after searching around, we did not find one of the big fellas. It was a really very sunny day though, and we enjoyed the views of the mountains.

Today, we sailed through a calm fjord at -2°C, where we encountered two groups of harbor porpoises, including some adorable babies, but unfortunately, no larger whales, though we remain hopeful for better luck tomorrow.

Today, we spotted harbor porpoises, the smallest cetaceans in the fjord, with their triangular dorsal fins and shy behavior.

Although we didn’t spot any whales despite our efforts, we’re hopeful that we’ll welcome our guests back on board and have the chance to show them the amazing whales next time.

As we sailed out today, we spotted several pods of Harbor Porpoises between Gáseyri and Hjalteyri and stopped to look at some of them more closely. They resurfaced numerous times, sometimes even close to us!
