Why choose Gentle Giants for your Iceland whale watching experience?
Welcome aboard!
In the blink of an eye, another month has flown by! While June's weather hasn't exactly been our favorite, it's been a fantastic month for whale sightings. Daily sightings have been incredible these last weeks as we observed playful dolphins, hungry humpback whales, minkes and the majesty of the sea: the blue whale.
››MoreThe beautiful humpback whales are a migratory species. They travel from tropical waters—their breeding grounds—to enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet in Skjálfandi Bay! The whales we see here belong to the North Atlantic population, and they come to us from places like the Caribbean Sea, the Dominican Republic, and West Africa.
››MoreAs weeks pass by and the season proceeds, more and more humpback whale individuals pass by. Some stay just shortly, come and go, others stick around for a while, even for weeks. Some of these individuals are known from previous years, while others are newbies in the bay.
