Summer 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 on 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 seabird varieties nesting in the lava cliffs along the coastline, including guillemots, arctic skua, gannets, and others.

The hunt in on─for the Northern Lights

From September to mid-April is Northern Lights hunting season and Whale Watching Reykjanes gears up for this exciting event every year by using all the technologically advanced tools available to track these awe-inspiring lights. Knowledgeable driver/guides lead the way, filling you in on the science behind this natural phenomenon, and helping you adjust your cameras for optimum shots. If you don’t have a professional camera at hand, your guide will be happy to take a photo of you and the Northern Lights when they appear which you can then upload to your own social media site or cloud storage.
