Sunny, moderate wind from south west turning in all directions - which makes some parts of the fjord a bit bumpy and some completely flat. We saw a Minke Whale North of Hjalteyri, Humpback Whale further towards Hauganes and few times we have been lucky to see Northern Bottlenose Whale pod, which happened to appear out of nowhere around the Green Buoy.

We had really nice weather all they with calm seas and a bit of sunshine.

We had encounter with Humpback whales, a Minke whale, Harbour Porpoises and even a brief encounter with the pod of Northern Bottlenose whales that we have had in the area.

As the moon swells toward its fullest glow, something magical stirs in Eyjafjörður. With each tide it tugs a little stronger, drawing plankton closer to the surface and right behind them, our majestic ocean giants follow. These moonlit days have brought unforgettable moments on the fjord, and today was no exception. We were treated to an extraordinary gathering of whales—four different species in one breathtaking day!

We had a sunny day, although the wind gradually picked up as time passed. The first whale we spotted was a humpback whale, right by Pollurin. After that, we saw several more humpbacks south of the green buoy and near Hjalteyri.

We were also very lucky to witness a rare encounter: a group of at least seven northern bottlenose whales, an uncommon sight in these waters.

Today, we sailed north from the harbor in around 15°C weather and encountered an incredible group of at least seven humpback whales near the green buoy, heading toward Hjalteyri. We witnessed multiple breaches, tail throws, tail slaps, and even saw harbour porpoises on the way.

The day began with radiant sunshine and perfect sea conditions, ideal weather for whale watching in the fjord.

In the morning, we saw a shy Minke Whale, but the highlight came north of Hjalteyri, where up to four Humpback Whales approached our boat, offering unforgettable close encounters. One even breached several times, leaving everyone in awe. In the afternoon, we returned to the same area and spotted another Humpback Whale diving gracefully. Then, near Grenivík, we saw another individual breaching repeatedly and showing off its pectoral fins, an incredible sight that continued even as we left the area to be back on land.

There are few sights in nature as breathtaking as a humpback whale breaching the surface of the ocean, and we were lucky enough to witness just that. Towering above the waves, suspended for a moment in time before crashing back into the sea, it was a moment of awe, power, and pure magic.

On our latest ocean adventure, the humpback whale stole the show. These gentle giants, known for their acrobatics and hauntingly beautiful songs, treated us to an unforgettable performance. The photo captured here is more than just a snapshot, it's a memory of nature’s grandeur in full motion.

Come dive into our full story, where sea spray meets sky, and the rhythm of the ocean brings the world's most majestic creatures up close.

Crazy day on the water, nice weather, a lot of whales and most importantly super rare species have visited us in Eyjafjoerdur, pod of 5 Northern Bottlenose Whales by Krossanessborgir/green buoy and later close to Hjalteyri.

We also saw more than 5 Humpbacks close to Hauganes.

Light snow fell over the mighty mountains surrounding our beloved fjord in the days leading up to today; you can feel the crispness in the air, but that’s not going to stop us nor the whale that we got to spend time with!

Today near Hjalteyri, we spotted a familiar humpback whale feeding close to the surface, showing its head, ventral grooves, and striking white fluke. Later, further north in the fjord, we encountered a new humpback with a nearly all-black fluke, also actively feeding. As we approached Akureyri on our way back, we saw a group of harbor porpoises near the harbor.

This morning in the fjord near Pollurinn, we spotted a hungry Minke Whale surface feeding on small fish, with the prey visibly leaping from the water. Later, south of Hjalteyri, we encountered two relaxed Humpback Whales, one of which was "pecking" by slapping its pectoral fin on the surface.

We explored the fjord near Hjalteyri and spotted two humpback whales—one young and curious, the other large and calm—plus a dramatic skua snatching food from a gull. Puffins, tail slaps, and close whale encounters made both morning and afternoon truly magical.

Today we encountered two beautiful humpback whales—one resting calmly near Svalbarðseyri, and another actively feeding and showing off its white fluke. Near Hjalteyri, we also spotted a minke whale feeding close to the surface, giving us an amazing view of half its body. In the afternoon, one of the humpbacks even breached, making it a truly unforgettable whale-watching day!

This Thursday brought ideal whale-watching conditions in the morning, with calm seas, sunshine, and two Humpback whales spotted near Hjalteyri—one heading north and the other south. We even caught a beautiful glimpse of a fluke! In the afternoon, despite some clouds and light rain, we still encountered two more Humpbacks—one north of Svalbarðseyri and another near Hjalteyri.

Today, we experienced southerly winds, but the waves remained small thanks to the shelter provided by the fjord, Eyjafjörður. The sky was mostly cloudy, though patches of sunlight broke through in some areas. Thought the whales were very active.

Today in the calm waters of the Eyjafjörður fjord near Akureyri, we encountered a variety of incredible marine life.

The highlight was an unforgettable whale show just before returning to the harbor, with close encounters and spectacular behavior.

Flat sea, little bit rainy and cloudy, pleasant temperature of 8,5C° today.

3 Humpback Whales scattered around starting just North of Svalbarðseyri all the way to Hjalteyri, generally very active whales today.

The morning started with ideal weather, mirror-like waters, no wind, and bright sunshine, perfect for sunbathing and whale watching in just a t-shirt. Conditions later changed slightly as the wind picked up and clouds moved in, but the sea was still calm and nice to do whale watching.

The tour was rich with sightings: a sleepy Humpback near Svalbarðseyri, several Minke Whales, and more Humpbacks near Green Buoy, Strýta, and Hjalteyri. A dramatic breach thrilled everyone, with even Harbour Porpoises appearing. Later, familiar whales like Disy performed playful tail slaps and throws, making the day truly memorable.
