This whale watching tour takes you to Faxafloi Bay on iceland’s west coast, home to a unique variety of Minke whale, as well as Humpbacks, Harbour Porpoise and White-beaked dolphins which are all common sights on this trip. There is also an amazingly diverse array of birdlife in the area including the Puffin, Arctic Tern, Gannet and many varieties of Gull. After the cruise you can explore the Whale Exhibition Room which is set in an old capelin-fishing vessel that has been transformed into an information centre on whales and seabirds.
The most common whales in the winter are dolphins, humpback whales and killer whales, hardly any minke whales have been seen from November through March. For your comfort and warmth, we have special suits on board we can lend you, but we do advise you to wear warm clothes. We also offer hot drinks and light refreshments in our on-board café. Alternatively, you can sit inside the boat in the warmth, where you can enjoy the view from large windows.
