Why choose Gentle Giants for your Iceland whale watching experience?
Welcome aboard!
They're baaaaack!The first humpback whale of the season has been spotted by our RIB speedboats in Skjálfandi Bay this morning! Every spring, these gentle giants return to Iceland after a long migration from tropical waters.
››MorePersonally, among all the whale and dolphin species I have seen around the world over the years, the humpback whale continues to be my favourite among them all. Surely, there is something fascinating, unique and astonishing about every single whale species: the social structures and advanced and adapted hunting techniques of the orcas, the sheer size of a blue whale, the sound volume and diving skills of the sperm whales and so on and on… But what about the humpback whale, our most common visitor in Skjálfandi Bay? Each tail is uniqueTheir tail flukes have unique patterns, kind of like a fingerprint.
