Description
Long Icelandic evenings transform Faxaflói Bay into a world of gold, silver and deep blue. The open RIB reaches the wildlife areas quickly and gives every guest an unobstructed view as the guide searches for whales, dolphins and porpoises.
Puffins are often part of the route until mid-August, while Reykjavík’s coastline, Harpa and the mountain skyline look especially beautiful beneath the low summer sun. No two evenings produce the same combination of wildlife and light.
Warm flotation gear, gloves and goggles are included. The small-group ride is intended for travellers aged 10 and over who meet the current height, weight and health requirements.
