We had a beautiful day with great conditions! We went out in the afternoon with one group.
The wind from the south brought good weather and warmer temperatures, and barely made waves in the fjord.
We first saw Harbour porpoises when exiting Akureyri, and quickly saw 2 Humpback whales a few hundred meters away. They came close to us a few times, then separated. It seems like one of the whales started falling asleep since it was having quite an erratic comportment.

We then sailed with the other whale for a while and had amazing encounters until we started heading up north to check the fjord.

We were able to find a third humpback whale by Svalbarðseyri who was actively feeding. It was coming up regularly for one breath at a time. We then headed back home with plenty of sighting!
