Beautiful weather and plenty of whales

Today was another absolutely wonderful day in Skjálfandi Bay!

We saw four different species during the morning tour: humpback whale, minke whale, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises and also the afternoon tour was hard to top: there were just whales everywhere!

 

In total there were four different humpback whales and 2 or 3 minke whales in the southern and western part of the bay and it was almost like “non-stop whale watching”, going from one whale to the next one.

 

But not only the whales were fantastic, also the weather was really nice and both passengers and crew enjoyed the sunny day with lots of whales in Skjálfandi Bay.
