Great day on the water in Eyjafjörður! We had hardly any wind and beautiful sailing conditions with a bit of snow throughout the day.
On our tours, we spotted plenty of Harbor Porpoises and two Humpback Whales, all of them were north of Svalbarðseyri!
We had amazing encounters, we first spotted one Humpback Whale and while waiting for it, we spotted another blow a bit further north of us. The second Humpback was heading south quickly and we saw both of them very well. One of them surfaced right in front of our RIB boat, leaving everyone on board very excited about seeing the whale this close, as it continued to take a few breaths before lifting its fluke and going down for a deep dive! An incredible encounter.
Our fjord is filled with wildlife and we are having great tours with the cetaceans of Eyjafjörður!

In our afternoon tour we encountered a different Humpback, Ind 20, just around the corner from the harbour opposite Heiti Foss. This whale surfaced many times around us, frequently emerging around the sides and in front less than 20 meters.
