About 10 Minke whales over 30+ sightings with Elding Whale Watching
Our first booking was postponed due to bad whether, but Elding were really helpful rescheduling for when the forecast improved. Result was a cold but beautifully calm sunny day where we saw our first whales. Amazing! All Minkes. Guide was very helpful and taught us about their behaviour and what to expect from the morning. [...] Elding even take a few pictures too which were free to download.

Other Tours

The mesmerising Northern Lights is sight that will not be forgotten. It's simple; nothing says “Icelandic Winter” like the idea of hunting the Aurora Borealis.

Visit three of Iceland’s beautiful natural landmarks in the same day. Gullfoss, Geysir and Þingvellir are some of Iceland's most famous landmarks and are easily reached from the capital.

Riding the wonderful Icelandic horse in hardened lava fields and beautiful nature is something you have to experience at least once in your life!

Due to unfavourable weather conditions, we were only able to sail at 09:00 today. Although we did see a minke whale, some harbour porpoises and a humpback whale, they were all tricky to follow. We therefore offered all our passengers complimentary tickets!

Today's encounters included close ups of humpback whales with some breaching, minke whales (one even breached 10x) and a pod of very playful white-beaked dolphins that breached all around us!
