June 17th, Iceland's National Day, began with a cloudy sky and an incredibly calm sea, smooth as a mirror. As the day went on, light rain arrived and the wind picked up slightly, causing small waves. Despite these changes, the sea remained mostly calm throughout the day.

During the tours, we had multiple amazing whale encounters. In the morning, we saw a Humpback and a Minke Whale near the green buoy, and later another curious Humpback near Hjalteyri. Puffins also made a surprise appearance. In the afternoon, Humpbacks were very active, one even breached, and we saw feeding and social behaviors.

Today near Svalbarðseyri we saw three humpback whales swimming together—two of them were slapping their fins like they were waving at us. One whale surprised us by breaching several times, giving us an incredible show. We also spotted northern fulmars and a few shy harbour porpoises—what a day on the fjord!

Todays weather was very nice with mild wind and flat ocean. But what a day with many sightings of Humpback whales!

Sunny with light breeze, 4-5 Humpbacks scattered around Hjalteyri 1 Humpback East of green buoy tail-throwing, slapping pectorals and tail. Stunning experience.

Afternoon we saw 8+ Humpback Whales North of green buoy all the way to Hjalteyri. A whale soup. blows everywhere, 1 Humpback also breached 3 times in the distance, absolutely wonderful day.

Today was sunny with a light breeze from the north. The sea was calm, and the clear sky made whale spotting easy, perfect conditions for whale watching.

During both the morning and afternoon tours, we saw many Humpback whales in different areas. Sometimes they swam alone, other times in small groups. The calm water allowed for clear views of their blows, backs, and tails. Guests enjoyed taking photos and watching quietly. In total, we estimate that around ten whales were seen across all boats. It was a beautiful, exciting day out on the water

Today in Eyjafjörður, the wind changed direction twice. It started from the south in the morning and later turned to the north in the afternoon. Despite this, the sea remained calm, not too wet, and the cloudy sky sometimes opened up to let warm sunshine through.

In the morning, we saw Propi east of the Green Buoy and later found Disy near Hjalteyri. Both are familiar Humpback whales we’ve seen several times recently, and they can be identified by their flukes—Disy’s is whiter than Propi’s.

The afternoon brought a magical surprise. Propi approached one of our boats, and we witnessed a rare Minke whale breaching, an unforgettable sight in this area.

We had beautiful weather today. The wind shifted and began blowing from the south, but it wasn’t too strong, which kept the sea calm.

In the morning, we spotted five humpback whales, and in the afternoon, we saw two of them. It was an amazing day, they were going fort a dive often and we could see their flukes several times.

4 Humpback Whales North of Hjalteyri, 1 Minke Whale North of Green Buoy, we had an absolute blast today, sunny, no wind and crazy cool sightings.

At last, the wind is completely gone, a bit of an overcast with some pure glassy conditions. Really nice conditions to start with.

We went out and found 3 Minke Whales scattered around North of Svalbarðseyri. A pretty cool sight as they most of the time hang out rather alone. one was surface feeding and we had a quick peek at them. After bunch of encounters we have taken the chance to go further north.

2 Humpback Whales North of Hjalteyri, cloudy but calm ocean, 1 Minke Whale close to the hot waterfall located by the town of Akureyri. In the afternoon we managed to see several Minke Whales heading out and coming back from the Humpback Whales that were spotted in Hrisey.

Despite the cold, wind, swell and rain we had a great day whale watching. In the morning we had a Humpback Whale by Hauganes and in the afternoon we had two Humpback Whales east of Hrisey.

Northern wind throughout the day, 1 Humpback Whale North East of Green Buoy, 1 Minke Whale around Green Buoy. Read more in the blog.

Moderate northern winds persists, morning tour brought us to a well known Humpback Whale in this fjord - Disy, a confirmed female.
