What an incredible day out at sea!
We encountered more than seven Humpback Whales by Hjalteyri, Harbour Porpoises, and as if that weren’t enough, near Svalbarðseyri, we were lucky to spot a group of six Northern Bottlenose Whales, including a mother with her calf. Truly unforgettable moments!

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.

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.
