Day 1: Whale Watching
Iceland
Iceland is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic, with a population of 360,390 and an area of 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi), making it the most sparsely populated country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Reykjavík, with Reykjavík and the surrounding areas in the southwest of the country being home to over two-thirds of the population. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains, and glaciers, and many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude almost entirely outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence keep summers chilly, with most of the archipelago having a tundra climate.
This whale watching tour takes you sailing from Reykjavík out to Faxaflói bay which is home of variety of whales, dolphins, and other marine life including sea birds like the Puffin, Arctic tern, Gannet and gulls.
The most common sightings include dolphins and humpback whales and, on rarer occasions, minke whales and killer whales..
Specially built for whale watching, the spacious vessel offers variety of platforms for watching the whales as well an indoor viewing area with large windows.
To keep you warm and comfortable there are warm overalls on board, but there are also hot drinks and light refreshments in the on-board café.
After the tour you can explore the Whale Exhibition Centre to find out more about the mysteries of the ocean. It is situated in an old Capelin-fishing vessel “Fífill,” which has been transformed into an exhibition and information centre on whales and sea birds.

good
The driver was nice and on time. Pick up and drop off was great. We saw Whales and the ship was very comfortable with a warm staff
I am happy with the experience.The ship was safe and clean and had very pleasant sozial area! Very good tour planning!
The pick up was a bit late so got a little anxious. The boat didn't have enough seating on deck so had to stand unless you wanted to go to bottom level. However the information & quality of the boat were good. Even though we didn't see any whales we still enjoyed the stunning scenery.
