On the first tour today the wind was slow from west and the sea remained calm. When we got to the feeding ground of the whales we started seeing gatherings of birds, in different spots on the surface of the sea. From out of nowhere some fast moving white beaked dolphins appeared and our captain halted the ship.

Today there was some wind from the north west and therefore some wave movement from the same direction. The sea did came down as we came further to the feeding ground of the whales. We came across a fast swimming pod of white beaked dolphins that dived under and came up to the front of the ship. 

Today it was a bit windy in the bay so we put on warm overalls and got ready to see some cetaceans. We encountered a nice Pod of White Beaked Dolphins travelling with a little calf. They approached our boat a few times and we spend some time with them to observe their behavior. 

This morning both tour sailed out from the old harbor, as it was cloudy and the sun was coming. We sailed to the feeding area where we met different Minke Whales and a Humpback whale.

A beautiful sunny day awaited when we left the harbour. We’ve been really lucky with the weather the last few weeks here in Reykjavik. Everyone expected a rainy and cold winter here in Reykjavik, but rain and wind they had up north. Never trust the weather predictions here in Iceland. In the end it always comes different. Take what comes. The boat was full. The sun was out.

We left the harbour this morning, and the wind was blowing strongly. After sailing for a long time, spotting many seabirds on the way like Puffins and Arctic Skuas, we saw something special. A whale jumping out of the water! At first we thought it was a White-beaked dolphin, but it appeared to be too big.

We sailed out in great weather, and luck was on our side. We spotted a Minke whale very briefly, but it was busy feeding and showed us no interest so we kept sailing further out. 

With almost a full boat today we sailed out nice and fast to our whale watching area. The feeding grounds were buzzing with life with patches of krill all around the boat and many different species of seabird feeding on them including our beloved puffins and arctic terns!  We continued on through this feeding area until we spotted the first blow of a large whale. 

We sailed out this morning in great weather, and shortly after we spotted a Harbour Porpoise wizzing by the boat. We then spotted about 4 Minke whales who were busy feeding (as well as the seabirds). We could see dark-red patches of krill in the water, which is one of the main-food items of the whales. We also managed to see a pod of White-beaked dolphins.

We headed out from the old harbour in Reykjavík and the weather was great. Calm wind and sunshine. On this tour we spotted a very calm Minke whale and watched it feed and swim. We then sailed on and found a pod of White-beaked dolphins, and they had two young calves with them.
