We had sailed less then 15 minutes when we encountered at least five Humpback Whales just north of Svalbarðseyri. One Humpback Whale was even lunge feeding, putting its head out of the water. Another Humpback Whale was in the perfect position towards the sun, so it looked like it was spouting rainbows.

After a challenging morning because of the wind, we were able to sail at 14:00. We saw multiple species of whales, including, Humpbacks and Minke whales! A beautiful day with warm weather.

A beautiful day in the fjord with many Humpback whales around! The weather was great, and we got to enjoy the company of a lot of whales.

Today was one of those incredible days. It was around 12 degrees, the sun was shining, the sea was completely flat and glassy, and we had at least five Humpback Whales and two Minke Whales in the fjord. We could just turned off the engine of our boat and sit there and watch the show taking place in front of us.

Today, we explored the waters northeast of Hjalteyri and near the green buoy, where we encountered 4–5 humpback whales showing spectacular behaviors like tail throwing and fluking, along with a group of harbour porpoises and a brief sighting of a minke whale. It was an unforgettable day surrounded by marine life in chilly waters of Eyjafjörður.

Today on the calm fjord near Hjalteyri, we saw four humpback whales, a minke whale, and a group of harbour porpoises, along with eider ducks and a rare Mandarin duck. It was a magical day of marine life and birds in the peaceful spring waters of North Iceland.

After the mornings fog lifted it revealed a completely glassy sea, blue skis, sun and the snow covered mountains all around us.

By Hjalteyri we encountered both Minke Whales and Humpback Whales. The whales were in the same area for the whole day giving us amazing encounters.

A beautiful day spent with a curious Minke whale and several pods of Harbour porpoises North of Hjalteyri as they came to greet us in the morning and at the early afternoon. In the late afternoon despite our best efforts we couldn’t locate the whales again, but we always remain hopeful for the upcoming days!

Today we spotted a minke whale, several groups of harbor porpoises, and four majestic humpback whales west of Hrísey. In the afternoon, we saw more porpoises and humpbacks, making it an incredible day for whale watching.

We saw some uncommon bird species like Northern Gannets and Atlantic Puffins. Sun throughout the whole day made this a nice time for everyone.

Today we encountered Harbour Porpoises in small groups throughout the area, Minke Whales near the boat, by the green buoy, and later near Strytan. We also had two amazing sightings of Humpback Whales—one west of Hrisey and another near Hrisey in the afternoon.

What a beautiful sunny day out on the water! The sea was calm like a lake, making it perfect for spotting wildlife. We saw plenty of seabirds, including long-tailed ducks, guillemots, and black-headed gulls. Then came our first cetaceans — a small group of harbour porpoises swimming peacefully near the boat.

As we continued north, we were lucky to spot a minke whale surfacing, taking a few breaths before diving gracefully. Later, another minke whale appeared, giving us great views. We also encountered more harbour porpoises along the way and yet another minke whale.

A day full of calm seas, sunshine, and amazing wildlife — we’re already excited for tomorrow!
