Social orcas in Snæfellsnes and humpback breach in Hólmavík

Home / whale diaries / Social orcas in Snæfellsnes and humpback breach in Hólmavík

We had a great time on our trips out of Ólafsvík today! In the morning, we started out by watching three sperm whales lifting up their flukes close and far from the boat. This was then followed by an amazing sighting of killer whales, that were very sociable, with several spy hops and tail claps happening. Our afternoon tour went almost the same route and got to see several sperm whale blows and flukes as well. Marie (Spotter)

In Hólmavík today we started out seeing a breaching humpback whale. Unfortunately it stopped jumping as we arrived and then we followed it for a while as it travelled inside the fjord. After this we watched another humpback that gave us some nice flukes out of the water as it dived. Judith (Tour guide)
