Satuday, 6 August 2022

Today we had perfect weather to sail out the fjord looking for cetaceans. It was both warm and calm and therefore the sea state was good. The sailing was a real eye candy because Eyjafjörður is quite magical to look at, especially on days like today.

We sailed out all the way to Hrísey and a little north of the island we encountered a lovely calm Humpback whale. The whale was feeding close to the surface and we got to see it very well and had a great time with it. But that was not all because in the latter tours we also encountered 2 Minke whales swimming and feeding around Hrísey. And just when we were enjoying the lovely but sneaky minkes PAM a Humpback whale just went for a deep dive a little far behind, but the best part was that once we got closer it was not 1 but 2 Humpback whales and one of them even started rolling when we were saying goodbye, so we ended up seeing 3 Humpies and 2 Minkes. An amazing day like always here in our fjord with our giant whales yet again.
