It is always exciting to go out again after a period of bad weather as you never know what has changed in the bay during the last days. As we left the harbour, we started our search by setting the course towards the area where we had seen the whales last time but even though…
Finally we have been able to go out again today. We have been searching a big area, but unfortunately we did not have any luck in finding the whales today, probably also due to the poor visibility during the trip, as it has been snowing for a big part of the tour….. Hopefully better luck…
We had not been able to go out the last two days because of really bad weather here in Húsavík. But today the weather conditions were much better and even though the waves were still a bit high we decided to give it a try and sail out in search for whales. After about 45…
In the beginning of the tour, we spotted a minke whale just about 15 minutes from Húsavík harbour. Unfortunately, the minke whale didn’t show much of itself so we decided to sail a bit further out. After about one hour of searching, we finally saw the blow from a humpback whale and after taking a…
On today’s tour we spotted three humpback whales and one minke whale.
The last three days have been just wonderful here in Skjálfandi Bay: We have had amazing weather conditions with beautiful icelandic autumn sun and snow-covered mountains, and there are also quite many humpback whales in the bay! Yesterday (and also on Friday) we saw at least four different humpback whales per tour, today there must…
Today we encountered three different humpback whales on our tour this morning, but especially the first of these three whales was really spectacular to watch: It was a humpback whale that was feeding at the surface and came up several times with the mouth wide open right next to our boat, so on some occasions…
There is still a big number of humpback whales in the bay and both today and yesterday we have seen lots of humpbacks on all our tours. Today there must have been at least eight humpback whales in the bay (we took a close look at five of them). Some of them were really nice…
It was an absolutely amazing day out at sea today with fantastic weather (no clouds, sunshine, extremely flat sea conditions) and nice whales: In total, we have seen at least five different humpback whales today and especially on the second tour it was really nice to see them feeding with the so-called “bubble net feeding”…
We went on two trips today onboard “Bjössi Sör” in sunny weather conditions and on both tours we encountered several humpback whales: During the morning tour we spotted three different whales, in the afternoon we saw even four humpback whales and the highlight of this tour was definitely one humpback whale that was breaching a…
We left the harbour in beautiful winter conditions onboard “Bjössi Sör” this morning: It was cold, but the weather was very nice and the mountains on the other side of the bay were just stunning: They were completely white and the light was just beautiful for some nice winter landscape photos! During the tour we…
It was still very cold today in Skjálfandi Bay, but the good thing is: The whales are still there! :-)During the morning tour we met a humpback whale that was very busy feeding at the surface, sometimes coming up with the mouth full of food – a very spectacular sight! In the afternoon we spotted…
We had not been able to go out at sea the last two days due to very strong winds and bad weather conditions here in Húsavík. It had been snowing during the night and in the morning, so it was very cold at sea and the waves were also still very high. But it was…
We had been searching a very big area this morning, including the areas where we spotted the minke whale and the humpback whale yesterday, but unfortunately there was absolutely no sign of any whales or dolphins this morning. So all we could to is to offer our passengers to join us on another tour for…
It started pretty well this morning when we got word about a minke whale in the eastern part of the bay and as we arrived in the area, it did not take long for captain Már and me to spot the minke whale surfacing. But even though we have been waiting for a very long…
We had really beautiful weather conditions here in Skjálfandi Bay today (the sea was as flat as a mirror and the sun was shining the whole day) and if there would have been any bigger whales around, we could have seen them from miles away. After about two hours of searching we were rewarded with…
Despite the rain (it has been raining for almost the whole day) we had two nice tours today with two nice minke whales on the morning tour and one minke whale on the afternoon tour. Christian, guide
The whales are still here in Skjálfandi Bay and today we saw two species: We saw a very nice humpback whale on the morning tour (the same whale that we had also seen yesterday), which was very busy feeding and coming up with the mouth full of food right next to our boat – a…
We had amazing weather conditions today in Skjálfandi Bay: There were almost no clouds, the sun was shining and the mountains looked just fantastic with the snow that had fallen there during the last days! We were searching a really big area on our morning tour (all the areas where we had seen humpback and…
It was very cold in Húsavík and out in Skjálfandi Bay today and during both tours, it was even snowing a bit. During the morning tour we found a very nice humpback whale in the western part of the bay, a very nice surprise as we had not seen the humpbacks in the bay for…
It has been raining quite a lot today in Húsavík, but the whales didn’t seem to care: In total we have seen at least three different minke whales today. In the morning we encountered one very nice minke whale (quite a big individual) just about 20-30 minutes from Húsavík harbour. We spent a lot of…
