The arrival of this day was foretold in mute voices by all North Sailing crew members. As if we were all alfraid to bring bad luck on the bay. But it finally came: Today was the first great Humpback Day of the season! The first humpback only showed itself after an hour and a half…
As we like to explain to our passengers, the beauty of whale-watching stands partially on the fact that we observe non-trained animals. And that the presence of our favourite giants should always be seen as a surprise. And today, despite fantastic sailing condition, the whales did not dare showing themselves. Our guests were still in…
Going out at sea was a bit of a challenge for our passengers, since the sea was very bumpy. But still, we went out twice and came back succesful on both tour, after having seen a minke whale in the morning and killer whales in the afternoon. As challenging as the tours were for our…
Another great day for us out at sea. We saw no less than 4 differrent species of whales! And three on each trip! The morning started with the sucessive sightings of a minke whale, a blue whale and white-beaked dolphins. And in the afternoon, we exchanged the minke whale to a larger model: The fin…
It was almost a perfect whale-watching day! The weather was exceptional, the passengers smiley, the wind very bearable… We only just missed some whales in morning. But as the afternoon tour went through, Lukas, one of the researchers coming with us, screamed all of a sudden: ”Nils!!! There was a blow there!” And indeed, yesterday´s…
The weather is just going better by the days here in Husavik!!! And after an unsuccessful morning tour, our captain had the great idea to try his luck north of the Puffin Island, next to Brekki. And it worked! We eventually found a cruising blue whale and observed a lot of puffins on the way…
It was the kind of days when one could forget we are in Iceland. A magic sun welcomed our guests in the bay the whole day through! If the morning tour was unfortunately unsuccessful, we found a charming group of dolphins in the afternoon that entertained us quite a long time! And we, for the…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
After a day without going out in the bay, due to bad weather condition, we went out for our first day with two tours this season. The weather was still a little rainny but the visibility was excellent. Despite our best efforts, we still weren´t able to find large whales, even though a nice group…
Another sun shining day enlightened our tour today. But once again, it wasn´t a day to forget his gloves, because the south wind was polar! After an hour of wandering out in the bay, we met with a nice group of dolphins. They weren´t that playful, since they were obviously busy feeding. They still came…
More than 50 adventurers came today with us on the boat, for a very sunny but very windy and cold tour. And it is after at least 2 good hours of intense searching that we finally had the chance to spot a minke-whale next to the so-called „Fish-Rock“. This was quite a small individual, but…
The sun is finally back with us in the bay! After few stormy days, our guests were finally able to enjoy a beautiful sight on our daily tour. We weren‘t lucky with the whales, despite our best efforts. But the guests will for sure keep a very memorable souvenir of this scenic cruise. Close to…
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…
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…
For the first time since the beginning of our daily-scheduled tours, the sun was not with us as we left Husavik‘s harbour. And for close to 3 hours, the picturesque Skalfandí Bay was the only thing that could have warmed our hearts. But just as we were coming back empty-handed, a large pod of about…
The days go by in Husavik and the beautiful weather has not yet left us. We welcomed today quite a large crowd for this time of the year. And if the whales are not yet back with us, our guests still very much enjoyed the ever more stunning lanscape on the East side of the…
