Only about 5 minutes after leaving the harbour we came across a Minke Whale and a few Harbour Porpoises. Then we kept going north and encountered 7 Humpback Whales. All to ourselves until little diving rib came out. Just when we were about to leave 3 Humpbacks popped up next to the boat, delaying our departure.

Our tour today was cancelled due to bad weather conditions in the fjord. The very strong Southern wind would have made for an uncomfortable ride.

In the area of the Green Buoy there were many Humpback Whales; We counted 8 flukes and there could have possible been more at a distance. On our return we also saw 2 Minke Whales just in front of Akureyri.

Our encounters came in the area between the Green Buoy and Hjalteyri - here spread throughout the area were 11 Humpback Whales. Many whales were familiar flukes however the 2 standout whales being both Max (Porcupine on Happy Whale) and Jubilee.

On todays tours we saw a Minke Whale round the corner out of Akureyri harbour; many White Beaked Dolphins in the area of the Green Buoy; a Humpback also South of the Green Buoy; and 5 Humpback Whales just South of Hjalteyri.
