The Dance of the Deep

Few sights stir the soul like the lift of a humpback whale’s fluke; a final salute before the plunge. It's a moment of grace and power, signaling the beginning of a journey into the silent depths.

Humpback whales are more than ocean wanderers, they are singers, travelers, and acrobats of the sea. From their haunting underwater songs to their epic migrations across entire oceans, these gentle giants captivate all who encounter them.

The tail tells a story. Let’s follow it.

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.
