Description
Eyjafjörður creates a magnificent natural stage for whale watching. The crew follows the most promising wildlife areas while the guide interprets every blow, fin and movement across the surface.
A comfortable whale watching boat combines excellent outdoor viewing with sheltered comfort, letting you move between the fresh sea air and a warmer space while quiet fishing villages and high mountains surrounding Iceland’s longest fjord unfolds around the boat.
