The sun is back…

The weather was quite enjoyable today in Husavik. The sea was a bit wavy and the wind cold, but the sun was up through most of the tours But after beautiful serie of succesfull days, we were unlucky with the whales. This makes us even more humble towards Mother Nature and its jewels. We could…

Blue snow

It was a rather cold day out at sea. While going through a very windy tour in the morning, we still had the chance to find one of yesterday´s blue whales. It was rather calm and eventually came pretty close to the boat. In the afternoon, the weather turned to snow, but our guests still…

Electron blue

Today was a fantastic whale watching day! We saw 2 blue whales during our morning tour, nice enough to lift their impressive fluke tails out of the water. They were actively feeding themselves and sometimes a little hard  to follow. One of them was still there in the afternoon, together with a humpback whale, the…

Blue Magic

The streak goes on!!!! After a complicated, but yet charming tour this morning, we encoutered again some blue whales in the afternoon! The passengers all got a very good look at them, as our captain Már could let them approach the boat from up-close. A minke whale even briefly showed itself! It was a moment…

I´m Blue Da Ba Dee

Today was at first quite complicated out at sea. Despite a great visibility over the whole bay and a fantastic weather, we were enable to find a whale during our morning tour. And the second tour started out to be pretty much the same. But after two hours and a half, on our way back…

Blue Monday

For the second day in a row, we were lucky enough find whales. The morning tour started with a tiny minke whale and later, we increased in size with the same majestic blue whale that we saw yesterday. It was still there this afternoon, very calm and even showing some spectacular behaviours by rolling on…

Quite an adventure!!!

From time to time, mother nature reminds us that she is way stronger than us. We had been forced over the last two days to cancel trips, due to bad weather conditions. So as we went out at sea, our passengers were up for a true arctic experience! The sea was a little bumpy and…

March Madness!!!

This morning, as we were cleaning the deck of Náttfarí from yesterday‘s snow, under cats and dogs of rain, with a massive mist over the bay, let‘s say… I wasn‘t very optimistic about our next hours with the guests! But after only few minutes out, we crossed the path of at least 25 dolphins, some…

A quiet and cheerful time

Our 11.am tour today was a very quiet one. If we started under quite a cloudy sky our morning together, the sun slowly lifted up. The whales didn´t show themselves, but the atmosphere  aboard remained a very cheering one, thanks to both the stunning panoroma offered by the snowy bay and the irresistible humour of…

Arctic sensations

Today‘s today tour went on under quite a cloudy sky. Even though the whales weren‘t kind enough to show themselves, our guests were eager to learn about the west part of the bay and its many stories. The Viknafjöll moutains have recovered part  of their snowy blankets overnight, and could therefore offer us a breathtaking…

Harbour porpoises frenzy

The scheduled tours keep on benefiting from the surprisingly enjoyable weather that bathes the Northern shores of Iceland these days. Our newly tanned crew was able to spot from up-close a large pod of harbour porpoises. These tooth whales are the smallest whales observed in the bay. And especially, they are hardly seen so close…

Sun is up!!!!

A Caribbean-like sun has once more enlightened our 11.am tour today. Even though we were unlucky in our search for whales, we did enjoy a spectacular view on Skalfandí Bay. And our very experienced guide, Nils, was able to narrate plenty of interesting anecdotes about the history of Husavik´s surroundings. Our guests were more than…

The Husavik Dolphins

Today was another fantastic day in Husavik, weatherwise. And another succesfull whale-watching trip for us! After a good hour on our whale-watching vessel Nattfari, we observed for several minutes a group of about 10 dolphins. It was our very first dolphin sighting of the year! The weather forecast seems quite good for tomorow again. So, be…

Exciting start!

Today was our second scheduled tour out in the bay. And, for our greatest pleasure, we had the surprise of spotting once more a blue whale, the largest animal to have lived on our planet! The blue whales are frequent visitors of our waters, but not in mid-march. Adding to it a beautiful sunny weather,…
