Whale Watching Blog

Today was quite a day in the history of North Sailing when Garðar sailed out whale watching for the first time. I got the honor of being the first guide to take passengers out and it was indeed a successful first tour.

The weather was amazing today, the sun shining and in the evening the midnight sun was really beautiful.

Today was a remarkable day with the whales. The weather was good; Sunshine and next to no wind.

The weather in Húsavík today is amazing, the bay completely calm and the sky clear. The scenery doesn't get much more beautiful than on a day like today.

A pleasant surprise today was to have a small seal approach the boat

Today we had several minke whales with us both by the bottom of the bay and in the east, a short way from harbour.

Today we started off in a great fashion, with minke whales practically inside the harbour.

Today the weather was okay, but the whales were quite difficult to spot.

The skies were still grey but at least it wasn‘t raining.

Brr... it was really cold out there this morning, the sky grey and sometimes it was raining. But everybody put on warm overalls and off we went.

Today was a fine day out on sea.

Like in the last two days the white beaked dolphins have been almost everywhere you look. So far today though we haven't seen any of the bigger whales.

This morning the weather was getting a lot better and the sea surface calmer. When I went out at 9:00 we had a great tour, amazing how the bay can change in between days.

Like often when the weather has been as bad as in the last days it can be really difficult to find some whales.

As predicted, a second day of rough seas and generally bad weather leaves us unable to go out.
