Today, we were fortunate to witness a family of five orcas, including juveniles practicing tail slapping, followed by several groups of harbour porpoises and the return of long-tailed ducks and northern gannets to the fjord.

We sailed out in beautiful sunshine today and encountered some Harbour Porpoises and 2 Northern Gannets. But unfortunately after searching around, we did not find one of the big fellas. It was a really very sunny day though, and we enjoyed the views of the mountains.

South of Grenivík we spotted a blow today! This blow belonged to a Humpback Whale! We were thrilled to spot this whale and see it several times around our boat as it resurfaced after short dives.

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

Today, we spotted harbor porpoises, the smallest cetaceans in the fjord, with their triangular dorsal fins and shy behavior.

Although we didn’t spot any whales despite our efforts, we’re hopeful that we’ll welcome our guests back on board and have the chance to show them the amazing whales next time.

As we sailed out today, we spotted several pods of Harbor Porpoises between Gáseyri and Hjalteyri and stopped to look at some of them more closely. They resurfaced numerous times, sometimes even close to us!

We had an amazing day, which started with seeing Orcas in Pollurinn this morning! As unbelievable as this felt, we were able to find these seven Orcas again a few hours later on our tour. We first spotted them southwest of Grenivík, as they were swimming north.

We sailed out with some southern wind, that created waves in our fjord today.
We sailed to Hrólfssker, the lighthouse marking the entrance of our fjord, and unfortunately spotted no cetaceans.
All of our passengers received complimentary tickets to join us again within the next two years in Akureyri or Reykjavík!

Despite the snow, north wind, and fog covering a part of the fjord near Dalvik, we sailed smoothly through the waters, searching for whales, but although we didn't find any, the journey was still beautiful, and we hope to welcome our guests back to share the amazing experience of spotting whales.

We got to admire a Humpback whale surfacing several times, with just few minutes in between, in front of us! We encountered the majestic mammal Southeast of Hrisey, where this individual has seemed to enjoy spending its time for at least the last couple of days.

We saw a humpback whale near Hrísey, heading south, surfacing every five minutes to show its fluke before diving deep for 25 minutes, and we were lucky enough to catch glimpses of it two more times on our way back to the harbor.

We sailed around Hrísey in the northern part of our fjord and saw plenty of birds and beautiful landscape, but unfortunately no cetaceans.
But we are looking forward to welcome today’s passengers on board with us again in the future with their complimentary tickets!

Again, we found one Humpback Whale northeast of Hrísey in fantastic weather conditions!
