So many whales! Pilots in one place and humpbacks in the other.

Today we had two sunshine tours out of Ólafsvík! On our morning trip, we first had a brief encounter with a Minke whale, before we headed on to find the pilot whales and white-beaked dolphins again. On our way home, we then also had a look at two other Minke whales. In the afternoon, we had to search for a little longer, again starting off with a brief Minke whale sighting, and then having the joy of watching both pilot whales and white-beaked dolphins.

There were humpback whales galore out in the calm, sunny waters of Steingrímsfjörður today with at least eight in a small area of the fjord. We got incredible looks at pairs of whales going on deep dives together, singles and there was almost always another whale up after one went down. On the morning tour we also got to see a group of pilot whales briefly as well. Judith (Tour guide)
