HIGHLIGHTS OF 2024

Friday, January 10, 2025

Happy New Year to all our friends around the world. A new year has arrived, and we are excited to see what 2025 has in store for us. Although it hasn't been long since our 2024 season finished, we can't wait to return to Skjálfandi Bay to discover which whales will visit us this year, what special moments and lifelong memories we'll create, which rare visitors will grace the bay, and how many of our "old" whale friends will return to see us.
