Delight in the wonders of Iceland's wildlife as we set sail into Faxaflói bay, seeking out Minke and Humpback whales, Dolphins, Harbour porpoises, and even the elusive Killer whales.

Onboard amenities include cozy overalls, spacious heated indoor cabins, a delightful bar, and complimentary WiFi, ensuring your utmost comfort and enjoyment throughout the excursion.
