Whale Watching and Golden Circle Express (AH74)
Short description
We will sail on Faxaflói
bay, home of a unique variety of Minke whale, the Humpback, Harbor Porpoise and
the White-beaked Dolphins, which are all common sights on this tour.
The local bird life is also diverse, including such birds as
the Puffin, Arctic Tern, Gannet and many varieties of
Gull.
After the tour you can explore the Whale Exhibition Center
that enables you to witness the mysteries of the ocean. It is situated in an old
capelin-fishing vessel “Fífill” which has been transformed into an exhibition
and information centre on whales and seabirds.
The entrance to
the Whale Exhibition Room is free of charge for whale watching passengers. A
return transfer is not included in the tour price. The harbour is just a "stones
throw" away from the city centre, so it will only take you a few minutes to
reach the city centre on foot after your tour. Local busses, taxis and a shuttle
service (offered by the whale watching company Elding), are available to those
that do not want to go downtown (extra charge).
