Orcas spotted in Reykjavík! 🖤🤍

Just the other day, the beautiful Orcas were seen swimming near the coast🐋✨

Icelandic waters are home to orcas year-round, but spotting them so close to the city in Faxaflói Bay is always a special moment. These intelligent and powerful creatures remind us of the beauty of our oceans 🌊💙 Have you ever seen orcas in the wild? 👀

Good activity in Faxaflói bay yesterday including this amazing breach! 🐋💙

Join our guide Dani behind the scenes on our whale watching! 👀🐋 Hopefully you are just as excited as he is 🤩

Three jumps in a row! This was one happy whale we saw yesterday 🤗🐳 #whales #whalewatchingiceland #whalewatching #iceland #icelandtravel #nature #sealife

The sky was a masterpiece painting last night. A moving masterpiece! 😍✨🌊🌌 Taken on our Northern Lights by Boat tour last night. #auroraborealis #northernlights #iceland #nature #travel

This just in! A good number of #humpbacks are having a party in the @hafnarfjordur harbour today! Lucky for us and a lot of happy guests on our boats 🐳🤗

Two #humpback #whales swimming around in the waters just outside @hafnarfjordur yesterday! There must be plenty of feed for them there, a number of them have been hanging around there for a few days! (Hafnarfjörður is only minutes away from #reykjavik.)

Several humpbacks sighted yesterday! Very close to town! #whales #nature #whalewatching #iceland #icelandtravel #travel #reykjavik #sealife

Did you know that during an auroral display, the energy released is equivalent to a small nuclear explosion? And that they're usually green, but can sometimes become pink, red or even purple?? We want to know what's on your mind! Drop a question and we'll get right back to you 🤓📝 #northernlights #auroraborealis #iceland #travel #nature #space #earth #beauty #reykjavik

When you're attempting to encounter wild animals, patience is important! These lucky passengers on our boat were lucky enough to catch good pictures of surfacing #whales after waiting a little while!

We are in a period of high northern lights activity right now, as an opening in the sun's protective layer let's out a huge amount of the particles that create this spectacular phenomenon. If you are in Iceland at the moment, step out of the house after dark! Or better yet, join our boat tour to get away from the city lights and enjoy the peaceful night out on the sea! #VisitIceland #MissionIceland #northernlights #auroraborealis #iceland

People often ask us if you can see whales in wintertime. Well, here's the perfect reply. Whales like to swim and jump and do everything they do in winter too, not just summer! #missioniceland #whales #whalewatching #winterwhalewatching #nature #Iceland #travel

Winter whale watching is amazing! 🤩🐋 The humpbacks don't care whether it's June or November, they still like to jump!
