Meet the Whales

Thursday, September 28, 2023

While September is getting to an end, tour departures continue until the end of November with several schedules! As this season brought us so much joy, we are already feeling the excitement for next year that some preparations are on the move! For those who are planning visiting Iceland for next year, you can already book for our tours on 2024! But if you are in doubt, don’t worry! You can meet us through our brochure and get to know all of the different tours we have to offer! We sail in Skjálfandi Bay, Husávik as it is regularly known as the Whale capital of Europe! Exactly because of the high probability to see whales.
