We sailed out with small waves and a northern breeze in our fjord.
On our tours, we encountered Harbor Porpoises as well as three different Humpback Whales by Hjalteyri!
We spotted the first blow just south of Hjalteyri, where we encountered Magnea, one of our spring Humpbacks this year. A bit north of Hjalteyri, we watched the second Humpback, Camel, and while we observed this whale surfacing, we spotted a third Humpback north of us! So exciting to have three Humpbacks in such a close area to each other!
We were lucky to have plenty of great and close encounters with the whales when they surfaced, mostly after quite short deep dives. Hearing their breath and seeing a Humpback Whale surface just next to us is incredibly impressive every single time.
What a nice day out on the water!

During our second tour, we spotted two Humpback whales close to Hjalteryri. We got extremely lucky since this time we found Magnea tail throwing in front of us a couple of times. And when we continued north we found again Camel. And all around during the tour, we could spot lots of Harbour porpoises surfacing.
