    The food (breakfast only on our stay), accommodation and staff were all as one would hope to find. The oly reason I have not awarded 10/10, was that the owner was not forthcoming, except for an SMS sent to us before our arrival, that the cook had...

For the last 5-6 year the biggest of them all, Blue Whale, has been a regular visitor also, occasionally we have Orcas, Sperm Whales and a hybrid of a Sei Whale and Blue Whale (that one is a regular visitor every summer for the last few years). It has come into the bay several times over the summer (mainly in late May, June and July) staying in the bay for maybe 5-10 days, feeding and then go out for the open sea again and turn back later. But it´s like the northern lights you can never count on it. I believe the reason we have so many different whales in the bay has something to do with the fact that there are two rivers, one clear water coming from Lake Myvatn, and one glacial river the run into the bay and this somehow makes a good feeding area for the whales.
