Today on the calm fjord near Hjalteyri, we saw four humpback whales, a minke whale, and a group of harbour porpoises, along with eider ducks and a rare Mandarin duck. It was a magical day of marine life and birds in the peaceful spring waters of North Iceland.

After the mornings fog lifted it revealed a completely glassy sea, blue skis, sun and the snow covered mountains all around us.

By Hjalteyri we encountered both Minke Whales and Humpback Whales. The whales were in the same area for the whole day giving us amazing encounters.

A beautiful day on a calm but foggy Eyjafjörður, admiring four Minke Whales and one Humpback Whale! The Minke whales were east of Green byouy and east of Hjalteyri, with the Humpback Whale being north of Hjalteyri.

Today was a beautiful, sunny day in Eyjafjörður! We spotted several Minke Whales between the green buoy and Hjalteyri and shared some nice and close encounters with them before sailing further to spot one Humpback Whale a bit north of Hjalteyri.

We saw several humpback whales and groups of harbour porpoises southwest of Hrisey. The porpoises were popping up all around the boat, while the humpbacks surfaced incredibly close, even passing right beneath us.

A beautiful day spent with a curious Minke whale and several pods of Harbour porpoises North of Hjalteyri as they came to greet us in the morning and at the early afternoon. In the late afternoon despite our best efforts we couldn’t locate the whales again, but we always remain hopeful for the upcoming days!

Today we spotted a minke whale, several groups of harbor porpoises, and four majestic humpback whales west of Hrísey. In the afternoon, we saw more porpoises and humpbacks, making it an incredible day for whale watching.

Morning glass with feeding frenzy of Harbour Porpoises and a Minke Whale by Green Buoy. Afternoon brought us to west of Hrísey where we observed a Humpback Whale. We saw some uncommon bird species like Northern Gannets and Atlantic Puffins. Sun throughout the whole day made this a nice time for everyone.

Today we encountered Harbour Porpoises in small groups throughout the area, Minke Whales near the boat, by the green buoy, and later near Strytan. We also had two amazing sightings of Humpback Whales—one west of Hrisey and another near Hrisey in the afternoon.

We spotted plenty of different bird species along the way as well as several pods of Harbor Porpoises and two Minke Whales just north of Akureyri!
Additionally, we spotted two Humpback Whales west of Hrísey and had a great day with amazing cetaceans in Eyjafjörður!

We spotted few groups of harbour porpoises and three minke whales today – the first two close to the green buoy, and later in the afternoon, a smaller juvenile west of Grenivík.

What a beautiful sunny day out on the water! The sea was calm like a lake, making it perfect for spotting wildlife. We saw plenty of seabirds, including long-tailed ducks, guillemots, and black-headed gulls. Then came our first cetaceans — a small group of harbour porpoises swimming peacefully near the boat.

As we continued north, we were lucky to spot a minke whale surfacing, taking a few breaths before diving gracefully. Later, another minke whale appeared, giving us great views. We also encountered more harbour porpoises along the way and yet another minke whale.

A day full of calm seas, sunshine, and amazing wildlife — we’re already excited for tomorrow!

On our tours, we encountered two Minke Whales today! One Minke Whale was spotted close to the green buoy, the other one by Strýtan.

On today´s tours we had a Minke Whale south of Strýtan and Harbor Porpoises north of Hjalteyri.

We gave it our best today as we always do, but unfortunately we couldn’t find any Cetations other than a few Harbour Porpoises.

Moody day with a moderate swell from the North. This rainbow on a horizon hopefully marking the better days that are ahead of us, this morning we have not found anything except of this rainbow and hundreds of migratory birds that have arrived just recently. We handed out complimentary tickets to all customers, so they can try their luck once again with us in Akureyri or Reykjavík.

Today’s tour was cancelled due to unfavorable weather conditions in the fjord.

We braved the cold, snow, and fog in search of whales — gave it our best shot, but no luck today, just some awesome seabirds to keep us company.

Today’s weather was amazing, a really beautiful, calm day!
We sailed to Hrísey and unfortunately did not spot any cetaceans during today’s tours. We did spot plenty of birds and had a fantastic view while sailing in today’s weather conditions, though!
