Calm and cloudy morning, Disy (Humpback) North of green buoy and 6 Northern Bottlenose Whales South of it. Later in the afternoon, the wind has gradually picked up and we have been seeing Disy feeding in the same location.

Despite the wind, it was a fantastic day out on Eyjafjörður. We had some incredible sightings, starting with a Humpback whale near Hjalteyri. Later on, we encountered another Humpback north of Hrísey, where we were also treated to the sight of a lively pod of White-beaked dolphins moving gracefully through the waves.

In addition to the Humpbacks and dolphins, we spotted a Minke whale and a small group of Harbour porpoises.

While it was the best possible conditions for whale watching, the Humpback whales had other plans for us and lead us all the way out to the end of the fjord all day.

Majestic and mysterious, the humpback whale rises from the deep blue with breathtaking grace. In this post, we dive into the world of these gentle giants, exploring their vital role they play in ocean ecosystems. Join us on a journey beneath the waves.

Mostly cloudy, nearly no wind and good number of whales, 2 Humpbacks, 1 Minke and a pod of Harbour Porpoises so far. All of them hanging around the stretch between Green Buoy and Hjalteyri.

Today's Ocean Moment: A Tail of Wonder
This morning, the sea offered a rare gift—a majestic humpback whale lifting its powerful tail high above the waves before disappearing into the deep. There's something timeless and humbling in that graceful motion, a reminder that nature still holds magic in plain sight. Let's dive into today's stories with the same quiet awe.

2 Humpbacks swimming side by side south of Hjalteyri, morning a bit cloudy, now it got mostly sunny and nearly no wind, which makes life of a whale watcher quite nice.

1 Humpback whale South of Hrísey, 2 Minke whales one around Green Buoy. In the afternoon we went all the way north of Hrísey and came a cross a Humpback whale mum with her calf.

Despite the fog still hanging over the fjord we managed to have encounters with both Humpback Whales, Northern Bottlenose whales as well as Puffin birds.

The weather was similar to yesterday, foggy but with calm seas. Despite the low visibility, conditions allowed for sightings near the boats.

During the tours, we encountered two Humpback whales. One was seen north of Hjalteyri, while the other was Proppy, a familiar individual with distinctive dorsal fin scars. Proppy was spotted both in the morning and afternoon, first north and later south of the green buoy. She stayed in the area for a while, providing excellent viewing opportunities for our guests.

Misty morning, 3+ Humpbacks located around Rauðavík, read the blog to find out more.

Sunny/foggy, absolutely magical atmosphere and we were looking at a Humpback Whale both morning and afternoon tours. Also a lot of puffins along the way, morning we were by Hjalteyri and later we sailed to Árskogssandur - southern parts of Hrísey island.

During our morning and afternoon tours near Hjalteyri, we observed a Humpback whale feeding and displaying behaviors like breaching, tail-slapping, and side-feeding. A synchronized group of Harbour porpoises was seen gracefully swimming on our return journey.

2 Humpbacks in the morning by Hjalteyri, today’s is the proper summer day we have all been waiting for. One of the whales was sleeping and the other one feeding right next to it. In the afternoon we also saw Harbour porpoises in addition to Humpback whales.

3 Humpback whales, 1 in Dagvarðeyri, 1 N Rauðavík and one by Hjalteyri. Midnight 1 Humpback in Hauganes.

On today’s tours we found a few Humpback whales, some were taking a nap but it was pretty incredible, since we could hear the whale’s breath and others were making a huge splash. We also saw a bunch of Harbour porpoises at least three different times.

Flat and sunny morning, 2 Humpback whales SE of Hjalteyri. 1 Minke Whale swimming around the same location. Bit cloudier this afternoon with very light breeze spinning over the fjord. Perfect whale watching conditions today.

Today we encountered 2-5 Humpback whales just south of Hjalteyri, and to our delight, Northern bottlenose whales appeared in the same area. We also caught glimpses of Harbour porpoises along the way.

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.
