Beschrijving
Set sail from Reykjavik on a combo tour to see puffins and whales. Cruise to small islands to see thousands of puffins, then hop aboard a whale watching tour to encounter Iceland’s giants.
Begin your adventure with a 1-hour puffin-watching tour. Board a smaller boat and cruise to one of three nearby islands: Akurey, Engey, or Lundey. These islands are renowned for their rich birdlife, and in addition to puffins, you can spot other species such as eider ducks, arctic terns, guillemots, and cormorants.
The rocky shores of the islands offer a perfect backdrop, and your experienced captain will find the best spots for you to observe the puffins up close in their natural habitat. If the weather allows, the captain might turn off the engines to let you fully immerse yourself in the natural surroundings and listen to the calls of the birds. Throughout the tour, the crew will share fascinating facts and stories about the puffins and the surrounding environment.
After the first tour, enjoy about 2 hours of free time to explore Reykjavík, enjoy a leisurely lunch, or simply relax before the next tour starts.
Next, embark on a 3-hour whale-watching tour into the bay, where the summer season brings the wildlife to its peak. This is the prime time to see Minke whales, along with white-beaked dolphins and harbor porpoises, thriving in their natural environment. As you venture further into the bay, you’ll have the opportunity to witness these majestic creatures up close.
The crew will provide insightful commentary throughout the tour, enhancing your understanding and appreciation of the marine life that inhabits the area. The whale-watching tour is not only a chance to see these incredible animals but also to learn more about their behaviors and the ecosystem they inhabit.
