Wave madness and 6 Humpback whales!! Sunny rollercoaster day.

Today began with bright sunshine and a light southerly breeze, leaving the sea calm and perfect for whale watching in our fjord. We got to see a lot of whales, check it out here!

This very windy, yet warm, day didn’t disappoint us. All around the fjord it must have been at least nine humpback whales scattered. Busy feeding, potentially getting ready for the long migration route.

Today was perfect for whale watching, calm seas, no wind or rain, and only a few clouds drifting across the sun. In the morning at Hjalteyri, we first spotted a blow, then several more. Soon, four to six Humpback whales appeared, busy feeding, surfacing regularly, and lifting their tails before deep dives. The afternoon brought the same incredible activity, with whales delighting us again and again. An unforgettable day filled with breathtaking moments from start to finish!

Piccolo, Disy, Bob and White fang, rain or shine these guys are always there for us <3

Another crisp, sunny day in Eyjafjörður made for perfect whale watching. On the morning tour, we sailed far to find whales but were rewarded with four humpbacks north of Hjalteryi, busy feeding. Two stuck close together, surfacing and diving in sync, while the others eventually joined. In the afternoon, we returned to find even more activity, at least six humpbacks feeding, with additional blows spotted further out, proving the fjord was full of life.

Hail, Rainbows, Bob and White Fang tail throwing!!!!

The mountains were covered in their second day of snow, giving us a cold, crisp day. The morning brought some sunshine, but clouds and rain soon followed. Humpback whales were far out in the fjord, and north of Hjalteryi we found a very active one that surfaced close to our boat. Further north near Grenivik, another whale fed calmly at the surface. In the afternoon we met Bob, a familiar whale, always showing its tail.

The first day with snow on the mountains. In the morning we had a Humpback whale close to the green bouy. In the afternoon we were heading further north and came across two other Humpback whales east of Hjalteryi.

It was a pretty normal autumn day in North Iceland, some clouds, a bit of sun, and a light breeze. After about an hour of sailing, we arrived in Hjalteyri, planning for a dip in the hot tubs. Instead, the highlight was spotting two Humpback Whales nearby. They showed up on all of our tours today, and one tail even looked familiar, though I couldn’t quite place it. All in all, a really pleasant day.

A Wonderful Day in the Fjord

The day began with gentle rain, a fitting touch of Iceland’s charm. The fjord lay calm, perfect for spotting whales. Near Hjalteyri, two humpbacks surfaced gracefully, lifting their tails as though welcoming us. We often cut the engine, drifting quietly to admire their beauty in peace. Though birdlife was sparse, northern fulmars soared near the hot-water waterfall, completing a serene day of rain, whales, and the fjord’s quiet magic.

Today the sky was cloudy and windy, though some blue patches appeared, and luckily no rain fell. Akureyri’s fjord sheltered us in its unique microclimate. In the morning near Strytan, we spotted a humpback whale surfacing in shallow waters, even lifting its tail. It moved slowly, covering distance in search of food. Later, north of Hjalteyri, we saw it again before heading south of Hrisey, where two lively humpbacks surfaced often, flukes shining.

This Saturday was rainy, but the sea conditions were excellent for whale watching, rain never stops us in Iceland! We ran two tours, morning and afternoon, and both offered wonderful encounters. Between the Green Buoy and Hjalteyri, we saw two Humpback whales actively feeding, with some lunge feeding in the morning. North of Hjalteyri, we met two more humpbacks, including “Dissy” (or DC), a familiar summer visitor. A rainy yet magical day in the fjord, full of whales.

We set out this morning under cloudy skies and a light northern breeze, with calm seas in Eyjafjörður. Between the Green buoy and Hjalteyri, we spotted two Humpbacks, raising their tails and showing their immense size. Near Hauganes, another Humpback appeared. The highlight came on our return: just a mile from the harbour, we encountered a Blue whale, the largest creature on Earth, truly breathtaking.

Amazing day with our favorite girl… Disy

Perfect weather conditions for a day on the water. with a mirror-like sea. We have seen 2 Humpback whales north of Hjalteyri, and a Minke whale in one of our tours launch feeding near Raudavik.

With a tailwind all day and the sun making sporadic appearances. We spotted three different humpback whales in the fjord today — two north of Hjalteyri and one very close to the harbour, right near the warm waterfall.

Today we have had perfect conditions to head out in search of whales. We spotted two humpback whales near the Strytan vent field, swimming peacefully. They weren’t diving for long, surfacing again and again close to the boat, giving us the chance to watch them beautifully. Regarding to birdlife we saw northern fulmars, arctic skuas, guillemots, razorbills and arctic terns.
