What an amazing tour we had this morning! We sailed out in the middle of a blizzard, so for the first half of the tour we couldn’t spot anything. It wasn’t until we reached the east coast of Hrísei, the island in the middle of Eijafjordur, that we found the first cetaceans of the day: a pod of 7-10 White beaked dolphins. Afterwards we circled the island, finding a big pod of harbor porpoises and, finally, a couple of Humpback whales! Even better, on our way back we encountered a third whale right in front of Akureyri, a few meters away from the coast. Again, a well spent time in the fiord!
