Tour @ 10:00
Sunny & Beautiful day again! Such a nice day to go out on Faxaflói Bay and as we sailed past Akurey we saw few White-Beaked Dolphins jumping and we followed them for a bit, it is very unusual for them to be so close to the coast!…we continued to go out to the whale area and soon enough we saw a pod of Harbour Porpoises jumping and playing and they stayed with us pretty much the whole time, going under the boat and showing themselfs a lot 
Next in line were the Minke Whales surfacing quite a few times and blowing some water out of their blowholes, its a nice sight to see and you can hear the sound when it happens…a very good day for whale watching 
We also saw the Puffins on the way back, some Terns and Fulmars too! Lets see how the next tour goes, hopefully they will see a lot then as well & we will upload more pictures
Tour @ 14:00
We went out in hope to see as much as in the morning, however we had a bit less on this tour. We passed the Puffins on the way out and then we spotted couple of Minke Whales, but they weren’t too keen on showing themselves much. We also saw Harbour Porpoises again and they were playful and we watched them for a while. The weather was nice the whole time, lots of sun and a beautiful view, however the wind was a bit chilly.
Tour @ 16:45
We had the opportunity to do an extra Whale Watching Express Tour today and we had a lot of people join us for that. Weather continued to be nice but we had very little luck in the viewings. We saw a Minke Whale a bit far out and it showed itself about 2 times but then we lost it. We tried to search for more whales but they were hiding from us this time. We hope that they will be awake and lively for the tours tomorrow
Tour @ 10:00
Lovely weather this morning, sunny and the sea beautiful and smooth! Great!! We sailed out and passed Akurey to take a look at the Puffins and then as we got further out to Faxaflói Bay we soon spotted a lot of Minke Whales. We could see blows in the distance that moved closer and suddenly one came up about 10-20 meters away from us, was really nice to see and surfaced many times! Along with the Minkes were a lot of sea birds flying around, such as Gannets taking a dive into the sea, along with some Kittiwakes and Auks. Such a nice tour and the view out on the bay is amazing in weathers like these, you can see Snæfellsnes and the glacier in the distance.
Tour @ 14:00
Unfortunately on this tour we had less luck than in the morning. We did see the Puffins on the way out nesting away in Akurey, however we didnt spot many whales. Our guide and captain spotted few Minke Whales in the distance but our passengers did not see them very well.
Our guide on the Puffin Express Tours told us they saw something that apparantly can’t be seen very often, a rainbow coloured circle around the sun or as they call it, Halo. Its produced by ice crystals creatig coloured or white arcs and spots in the sky, how amazing!
Here is a lovely picture that was taken by on of our passengers in May
Hello sun!!! …finally the weather has improved and we can start our tours again! We have decided not to go on the 10:00 o´clock today as we are waiting for the sea to calm down a bit, but we are going out at 14:00 and hope you will join us there!!
Tour @ 14:00
We went out in hope to seeing some whales, however the weather was still calming down and it was a bit windy and rough out there…so this time we were not so lucky. Our passengers received free complimentary tickets to join us for another Whale Watching Express tour. We did have few happy people that enjoyed the sun and the view, so it was a nice tour aside from the wind and not spotting any whales.
The weather has not improved today therefore we have to cancel all our tours again, very sorry to say 
Winds are strong and waves very high! We are hoping it will calm down today and tonight so that we can start sailing again..we dont like this one bit!! We will keep you posted and hope that you can enjoy your day, even though its gotten very cold this morning…brrrr… 
Unfortunately we have had to cancel our tours today due to very bad weather conditions out on Faxaflói Bay The winds are extremely strong and waves very high. We hope that the weather turns around quickly so that we can go out again and enjoy watching the whales & Puffins! We will keep you posted…..and hope you have a nice day and enjoy the other activities that Reykjavik has to offer
Here are few nice pictures we have taken/received from our passengers, in April & May. You can also click on the Flickr bar on the right side of this page, there we have a lot of pictures as well
Tour @ 10:00
We headed out at 10:00 am this morning and it was a bit windy out on the bay. We decided to pass Akurey to see the Puffins before we went out looking for the whales, and we saw a lot of the Puffins, where they are hard at work preparing their nesting area and we got some great pictures as of them sliding on the water and diving in, as you can see. We then spotted a Minke Whale on the way and we followed it around a bit, but unfortunately there weren´t many around this morning. Luckily we spotted a group of White-Beaked Dolphins that were playing around and jumping, and they always put smiles on peoples faces We also saw other sea birds, such as Gannets, Terns and Eider.
Tour @ 14:00
Bit bumby on the way out but we did see two Minke Whales around as well as some Harbour Porpoises and again we saw the Dolphins playing around, jumping along with the boat We went past Akurey again saying hello to the Puffins. As the tour went on the weather got better, bit brighter and the sea got smoother, we even saw a rainbow on the way back. Good ending to a bumpy & windy whale watching day
Tour @ 10:00
Unfortunately we didn´t have as good weather today as we have had over the past week. It was windy and wet out on Faxaflói Bay and we only spotted one Minke Whale far away and not everyone could even see it, probably just the guide sitting on the top of the boat. We did have two lovely ladies come up to us and say they really liked it and were happy that they saw lots of Puffins when we passed Akurey on the way back. We hope that the second tour today will be better, but we did hand out complimentary free tickets to the passengers this morning so that they can join us again for another Whale Watching Express tour (two of them came right back on the 2nd tour today…brave enough to face the wind again )
Tour @ 14:00
Change of luck this afternoon!!…we went out thinking it would be the same weather as this morning, but it had calmed down a bit, even though we did have some wind…and the rain stopped for the whole time we were out there. After a very short time we saw Minke Whales, and many of them!…first they were a bit shy but as time went by they came closer, and one came very close to the boat and showed its head, taking a look at us. We followed them a round with help of the Gannets, they flew over the boat and dove into the sea where the whales had come up for air. That made it easier for us to spot more Minkes! On the way back we saw a lot of Puffin so this was a good trip and despite the weather not being the best we had some very happy faces return
Tour at 10.00
Nice weather this morning. Not as nice as yesterday but still nice with great visibility. We quickly found the harbour porpoises popping up all around us, and soon a minke whale was found as well. We followed it around for a long time, it seemed to be busy feeding and was all over the place. An enjoyable tour for all.
Tour at 14.00
The later tour was pretty much a copy of the previous one, only slightly better. More minke whales and even more porpoises, better weather and calmer sea. Gannets were seen diving close to the boat and we tried to stick close to them, betting on there being a minke whale underneath which proved to be the case. Every once in a while we spotted a total of three minke whales surfacing at the same time.
On both tours we stopped by at Akurey island and checked out the puffins. We also saw a lot of them out on the sea, mostly two and two together.
Tour at 10.00
The weather is still amazing. Sunshine, blue sky and no wind which means very calm sea. Perfect conditions for whale watching. We sailed off towards our usual whale watching area. And just after 15 Minutes we spotted our first minke whale. We followed it aound for a while but it did not seem to interested in company. Luckily we spotted two other minke whales in the area and they were in a more sociable mood. They surfaced several times all around our boat and were joined by a pod of harbour-porpoises which played in the waves alongside the boat. On the way back we stopped for a short visit at Akurey and had a look at plenty of puffins. Wonderful tour in gorgeous weather!
Tour at 14.00
The weather continues to amaze us (apart from a short weird snowy intermezzo yesterday night ). The sunlight glistened on the ocean which was smooth as glass and incredibly clear. We sailed further out than we usually do but we were well rewarded for it. A shoal of sandeels swam close to the surface and right in the middle of it a minke whale busy feeding. Since the water was so clear today we could see the minke very well below the surface. One time it came up right beside the boat taking a huge gulp of fish. What an amazing sight! We stayed with the whale until it was time sail back home. On the way we payed a short visit to the puffins on Akurey. Wonderful tour!
Tour @ 10:00
We headed out this morning in the sun, it is amazing how good weather we have had past days and fingers crossed it will continue! the visibility out on Faxaflói Bay was excellent this morning and we were greeted by couple of Minke Whales circling the boat, you can hear them when they surface as they breathe through the blowhole and water comes spouting out. We also met some White-Beaked Dolphins on the way and they were jumping around and stayed with us for a while so that we could take some pictures …on the way back we waved to the Puffins and everyone was happy with this tour and very excited that we found some Dolpins:)
Tour @ 14:00
We headed back out and the weather as lovely as it has been, sun shining and great view as far as the eye can see…you can see Snæfellsjökull in the west of Iceland and Akranes, which is a town not so far from Reykjavik and also into Hvalfjörður or if we translate it would be Whalefjord! we started seeing some Harbour Porpoises early on and they were very friendly. Usually they are quite shy and dont like coming too close to the boat, but today they were jumping around, coming very close and showing their faces:) They were joined by the lovely Dolphins that came to visit us for the second time today! …and we must not forget the Puffins as we passed them on our way back as usual. Happy & Sunny day for Whale Watchers
