Description
Climb aboard a whale-watching boat operated by the only environmentally certified whale watching company in Iceland. Get up close to humpback whales, minke whales, as well as abundant sea birds, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises. After setting sail, explore the southern part of Faxaflói bay off Reykjavik’s Old Harbor and have an excellent chance of encountering mysterious and fascinating whales off the coast of Iceland, where the ocean currents create some of the best whale-watching conditions in the world. Enjoy a tour with a high success rate: Whales are seen on more than 95% of summer tours and 80% of winter tours, often surfacing within a few meters of the boat. To ensure that the animals are not disturbed, boats sail at a constant speed toward the whales' habitat, a sustainable policy that also minimizes oil use and pollution. Learn about the wildlife and scenery from guides that have gone through an extensive training program, based on exclusively developed guiding principles. And as a successful whale watching tour is a team effort, the crew works closely with passengers to spot whales, helping you feel an important part of the experience.Includes
