Description
Faxaflói Bay 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 premium 12-seat RIB with suspension seating offers fast access to wildlife areas and an open, close-to-water perspective, letting you move between the fresh sea air and a warmer space while the illuminated Reykjavík coast, distant mountains and the golden light of the northern summer night unfolds around the boat.
The long summer light turns an exciting wildlife safari into a particularly photogenic Reykjavik evening, with every departure shaped by the animals, weather and light of the day.
