July on Skjálfandi bay.

July on Skjálfandi Bay

July reminded us that no two days on Skjálfandi Bay are ever the same.

The month began with some lively weather, but despite the wind, the bay rewarded us with wonderful wildlife encounters.

Humpbacks Everywhere

Humpback whales were the stars of July, often surfacing close to our boats and giving guests unforgettable views. One familiar visitor, Flukaccia, made several appearances throughout the month a whale we're always happy to welcome back.

We also encountered minke whales, while thousands of Atlantic puffins continued to fill the islands at the mouth of the bay.

Every Tour Is Different

One of the things we love most about whale watching is its unpredictability. Some days the whales greet us within minutes of leaving the harbour. Other days they make us search a little longer. That's the beauty of experiencing wildlife in its natural habitat.

Thank you to everyone who joined us during July. This is the first story in our journal, and we look forward to sharing many more adventures from Skjálfandi Bay.
