The whale watching season is in full swing in Hjalteyri and our beautiful wooden oak boat Knörrinn sails twice a day at 10:00 and 14:30. @whalewatchinghjalteyri
Let me also tell you a little story about Knörrinn. Knörrinn was the first boat in Iceland to begin regular, scheduled whale watching trips. It was built in Akureyri in 1963 and from its very first voyage was considered a “Lucky Boat”. It survived the infamous “April Weather” in 1963 on its maiden voyage, north of Iceland. On that day several boats sunk with the loss of 16 fishermen. Later, in 1968, it sailed into an iceberg at full speed. Questions were inevitably asked about the gold coin put under the boat’s mast and the good fortune it had apparently brought! North Sailing story started with the restoration of the wooden fishing boat Knörrinn and saving it from destruction. ⛵️
Nowadays, however, you enjoy a quiet sailing in the calm seas if Eyjafjörður, Iceland’s longest fjord. Eyjafjörður is a favourable habitat of marine life, so favourable in fact that whales have been spotted in 99,4% of all our tours in the last three years. It’s not for no reason that Hjalteyri’s former fishermen have a saying: “Water is wet, the sky is blue, and Eyjafjörður is swarmed with whales!“
If you’re reading this, kudos!✌️You’re a true fan and we thank you for that.❤️
One of the most stunning sites I have visited in Iceland. Make sure you visit Aldeyjarfoss if you plan to roam the north east of Iceland! Video by @bsteinbekk .

We love taking advantage of the long summer nights here in Iceland. 9:00 at night and enjoying some nice warm tea by the sea ♥️

It is a country where the natural elements perpetually dance between the primordial poles of fire and frost, during winters with endless nights, and summers where the sun never sets
