Misty morning, clouds hanging low and very calm fjord ahead of us. The flat light that difuses through the clouds is rather tricky when spotting whales, but we didn’t mess around and we did find them!

Around Rauðavík, three feeding Humpback Whales frequently surfacing, gasping for breath after the silent hunts under the surface. Later during the tour we saw a huge splash in the far, unveiling a fourth individual of a Humpback in the fog, this could be a breach or a tail throw as we just saw a massive splash about a kilometer away in the periphery of our vision. We took the chance to see this active humpback, but then another started tail-slapping, tail-throwing, we were all just mesmerized by the beauty of this absolutely captivating show. Third one did a tail throw in the far as well, they were very active this morning and we only wish, that this situation will persist.

Afternoon tours are on, the whales are there. Do not hesitate and join us now!
