Pilot whales are back in Ólafsvík while the humpbacks remain in Hólmavík

Our tours today out of Ólafsvík had the pleasure of spending time with the hundreds of pilot whales that sometimes come into the fjord in the summer. On top of that there were also leaping white-beaked dolphins on the edge of the pilot whale group, something we see quite often when we find pilot whales in the summer. We also found a sperm whale on each tour and a Minke whale also on the afternoon trip!

Out of Hólmavík today we saw a number of humpback whales on both tours. They were mostly just slowly travelling today, not taking long dives and giving us some great, close looks. One of our favourites from last summer Vaf was back in the fjord this morning. Judith (Tour guide)
