HUMPBACK WHALES COMBINED WITH SUNSHINE
When Sylvia left the harbour this morning it promised to become a sunny trip and everyone on board was really motivated to find some of the whales that we have had in the bay during the last days.

GREAT WEATHER, GREAT WHALES
Sunshine, southerly winds and flat sea. Those were the whale watching conditions during the last days - just perfect, and we hope that it stays like this!Fortunately have not only been lucky with the weather, but also with the whales.

CUTTING DOWN TO ONE
September has so far been a really autumny month where both weather and whales have come and gone. Mainly minkes and dolphins have been spotted. Tomorrow, 16th September, we will cut down to only one daily whale watching departure; 9:45. Amma Sigga does not go on any scheduled tours but is still available for tailor made excursions.

SAILING AGAIN AFTER STORM
The Icelanders call it “bræla” when big waves and strong winds make it nearly impossible to go out to sea. We have experienced a real autumn storm during the last days but went out today and had a for the conditions a successful trip with minkes and dolphins.

PROMISING START OF SEPTEMBER
The first days of September have already past and the whales are still in Skjálfandi Bay. Both humpbacks and minkes could be seen during the trips. The whales have been very calm, while resting on the surface, and they let the boats come very close.
