WHAT YOU VISIT
Whale Watching & Wildlife Cruise
This leisurely tour of the awe-inspiring Westfjords begins with a 10-minute walk from the pier to your waiting boat. Once aboard, your captain will steer a course across the waters of the 53-mile-long Isafjardardjup--one of Iceland's largest fjord systems with eight different individual fjords and three islands.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
The waters of the Westfjords teem with marine life and you may spot a humpback, blue, fin, minke, sperm or orca whale breaching up out of the water and slapping the surface of the water with its tail and fins. Harbor seals and dolphins also frequent the Westfjords and the island of Vigur is home to 100,000 puffin couples and thousands of ducks, arctic terns, and black guillemots.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Breathe in the cool, crisp air as you voyage across across the waters of Isafjardardjup and past the rugged coastlines of the Snaefjallastrond, with snow-streaked mountains rising over 935 feet above sea level.
Schedule
Special Notes
Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed; however, the success rate for seeing whales on this tour is very high. Prime time for whale watching in Iceland is the late spring to early autumn months (May through September). Guests who suffer from motion sickness should consider this before booking and/or take appropriate medication. There are several steps to negotiate to reach the inside seating on the boat. It is essential that you wear warm, layered clothing in order to fully enjoy and participate in this excursion. Outer layer should be waterproof and windproof. Bring gloves, a warm hat and a scarf. Wear sturdy, non-skid, close-toe walking shoes (preferably waterproof) with thick wool socks. This tour is not suitable for physically disabled, people with mobility issues or for wheelchairs. To get to the boat, guests need to be able to walk between 760 – 800 meters from the ship.
