Today’s tours started with cloudy skies and small waves. At the beginning of the tour there were a few harbour porpoises that came to say hello. North of Hjalteyri we met the first humpback whale of the day. It was coming up quite frequently as it was sleeping. We bid it farewell and went to see another humpback whale that we saw from the distance, closer to the shore. It was coming up often, which was super nice. Even came close to the boat! As we were heading back to the harbour there was a surprise encounter with a minke whale! It was a nice finish to a good tour.

In the afternoon we got to sail further, near Grenivik where we found a humpback whale called Camel. It was feeding all around us, even giving a little spook by suddenly coming up right next to the boat. You could really see the humpback in all of it’s glory, pectoral fins shining underneath the water.
