GREAT SUCCESS WITH HUMPBACK WHALES
After a good start in the season yesterday we continued today in even better weather. The sun showed its full beauty during the whole trip and not a single cloud dared to cross its way.
Due to the fantastic weather we could welcome five passengers on board. At first we went to the same area where we saw the harbour porpoises yesterday. Unfortunately no whales were showing up there.
But about ten minutes later two humpback whales crossed our way! For this time of year it is quite unusual to find them in Skjálfandi Bay. Normally they arrive in the beginning of May to start feeding and filling their energy reserves. Good for us that two of them decided to come earlier this year.
Both humpbacks were really hungry and feeding like crazy. That is why we had the chance to enjoy them nearly the whole time surfacing and swimming next to the boat.
On the way back there was not only the sun smiling, but everyone on board including guide and captain.
Hopefully we can continue like this the whole season!
