Description

Eyjafjörður creates a spectacular natural stage for whale watching. The crew follows the day’s most promising wildlife areas while the guide interprets each blow, fin and movement across the surface.

A comfortable classic whale watching boat brings together excellent outdoor viewing and comfortable time on the water, with the spectacular Tröllaskagi mountains, open fjord water and North Iceland fishing villages unfolding around the boat throughout the journey.
