Summertime is prime-time for whale watching…and more

The waters surrounding the peninsula are prime summer feeding grounds for the many whale species that come to Iceland every year. White Beaked dolphins, Minke whales, Humpbacks, and occasionally Orcas can be seen. Fin and Sei whales are often seen feeding and playing at the water’s surface and adorable puffins sometimes come within metres of the vessel, to the delight of all onboard. Bird lovers will enjoy the noisy chatter of the many seabirds nesting in the lava cliffs along the coastline including guillemots, arctic skua, gannets, and others.
