Humpback whale and dolphins

The wind direction has changed and it was a slow wind from north, with temperature dropping a few degrees. Everybody forgot about the cold though when we started to see whales. First we found a group of nice dolphins that were playing and jumping a few times. Then we saw a humpback whale, but not…

Humpbacks and minke whales

This was my first day of whale watching this season.  What a joy. Nice easterly breeze, sunshine most of the day and the sea was flat and calm.   A humpback whale played with Náttfari on both tours today and two minke whales were spotted as well in the morning tour.   This is promizing.

4 species of whales in one day!

This was a brilliant day with a total of 4 whale species!  We did two tours, both with quite many passengers and alltogether we spotted a humpback whale, minke whales, dolphins and harbour porpoises.   The weather was beautiful, calm, sunny and warm and everyone, both crew and passengers enjoyed the trips very much.   Þórdís,…

A slow day in the bay

The weather today was nice, like it has been in the last days, but we only found a group of harbour porpoises on this tour. The minke whale from yesterday was nowhere to be seen.   On the first tour I mentioned we had seen a few puffins but today it seemed like all the puffins have arrived into…
