We only had one afternoon tour from Hólmavík today but what an amazing trip it was. We had more humpback whales than passengers on the boat with at least 15 whales in a small area. For most of the trip we didn’t even have to turn the engines on and just drifted in an area, where whale after whale came up around us. The highlight was a group of four travelling and diving together, but there were also groups of three and two, as well as some loners. If you want an experience away from a mass of people and boats and surrounded by nature, come and join us here soon! The photos don’t do it justice so we posted videos on our social media pages, Facebook and Instagram. Judith (Tour guide)
Today we finally got to go out on sea in Breidafjördur again, and we had some really beautiful sightings! On our morning tour, we spotted Minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, pilot whales and a basking shark, and on the afternoon trip we also had Minke whales and pilot whales. The pilot whales in the afternoon were very active, with a lot of rolling on the surface, porpoising, spy-hopping, and tail clapping going on. Marie (Spotter)
