Whale Diary

11:00 - We set out with a soft wind, mostly cloudy skies and seas that got gradually rougher as we went deeper into the bay. Luckily we found a minke whale only minutes into our tour, right between the islands where the sea was nice and calm. After some a good time with this individual with a nice close encounter, we moved onwards. We went deeper into the bay, facing bigger waves, hoping to find bigger whales. And so we did, as we found a humpback whale! It was a rather unpredictable whale and out of nowhere it came up only meters away from our boat! After this encounter, it was time for us to go back to port, happy that we braved the seas today.

14:00 - During the afternoon we sailed with a bit of swell but as the rain stopped and the sun decided to show up for a bit. as soon as we left we spotted a minke whale close by just by Engey island! WE stayed with this minke whale for about 10 minutes as it seemed rather curious towards the boat. Then we sailed further into the bay with an increase of swell but soon enough we heard that a humpback was spotted closed by! we approached the area just in time to see a fluke dive! We tried to see it one last time but the whale was a bit elusive so we decided to head back to the harbour. Once we got closer to Reykjavik we searched a bit longer to find a minke whale again and we still had time to give it a last look before heading home.
