We spotted Harbor Porpoises in several locations between Svalbarðseyri and Hjalteyri, but unfortunately no other cetaceans, so we offered everyone a complimentary ticket, allowing them to join us again for free in Akureyri or Reykjavík!

We went straight north and found the injured Humpback Whale that was going around as usual, somewhat in circles. Another highlight of the tour was an incredible, and full size rainbow just behind us.

Shortly after leaving out harbour a Minke Whale surfaced right in front of us. We kept going north after some nice encounters with the Minkes and spotted 2 Humpback Whales. One of them rather large, who we know very well as Porcupine.

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.
