Itinerary
Get your warm clothes and get ready for a real adventure!
The tour begins with a sail to the beautiful Skjálfandi Bay. There are many whale species that are known to be accommodated in the area. For example, the Humpback whale, the Minke whale, White-beaked dolphins, porpoises… More than 10 different species visit Skjálfandi every year!
The speedy RIB boats make it more likely to have a close encounter with the giants, being able to drive huge amounts of miles in the trip. Also, with only 12 passengers or fewer on board, the competition for the best view on board is certainly eliminated.
Among the places, we will visit Lundey (Puffin Island)*, known for its great amount of the popular bird. Passengers will also see the Tjörnes peninsula, known for its fossil layers with the most ancient one being two million years old!
An expert whale-watching guide, a captain on board, a warm water-resistant overall suit, and a life vest are included in this trip. Bring your hat and gloves with you – the bay can be pretty cold!
So, when are you joining us?
*Puffin season is ca. 15th of April-20th August. Outside that time of the year, our tours are Big Whales exclusive!

Such a great time!! We were incredibly lucky to see 5 whales. 1 minke, 3 humpbacks, and 1 blue whale. We were told the minke and blue whales were rare to see so we were beyond grateful for the experience. It was also cool to see the guides as excited as we were. Our guides were great!
Also puffin island was awesome. Nothing like sitting under a tornado of puffins flying around.

Sighted not one but surprisingly many humpback whales. Alex were great in giving us information about the whales and Robbie is great in sighting the whereabouts of the whales. Overall we enjoyed ourselves. Great and fun ride on the speedboat.
