Tour features

Bird watching - Option 1:

Experience the full scenery and sail on the amazing Breiðafjörður bay in a unique landscape between thousand islands. The bay holds a fantastic variety of bird life, including puffins, cormorans, the white tailed eagle, kittiwakes, eider ducks and more. See islands with incredible basalt forms and taste scallops and sea urchin fresh from the sea. Experience wonders of strangely shaped cliffs and enter a world where wildlife thrives in its own natural environment. A net-plough is cast overboard and the seabed trawled for shellfish delicacies to taste. It doesn’t come any fresher or tastier than this. Operation: English: May 15 – Sept 15 on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 08:00 June 1 - August 20 - daily at 08:00

Sea angling - Option 2:

Iceland's rich fishing grounds are usually only a few minutes cruise from the harbours. The crystal clear air and the excitement of catching a fish in the happy company of first-timers and experienced fishermen make this a “must-do” trip. The most commonly caught fish on our tours are cod, haddock, Pollock and catfish. The boats are specially equipped for sea-angling. Rods and tackle are supplied, and the fish you catch is yours. Sea angling is a fantastic experience. Operation: English: June 1 – August 20 - daily at 08:00

Whale watching - Option 3:

Whale watching from Ólafsvík on the Snæfellsnes peninsula. Come and see whales in a breathtaking area of Iceland and catch a possible view to the famous glacier, Snæfellsjökyull. Only few places in the world are better suited for whale watching as the coastal waters off the Snæfellsnes peninsula. On these tours we set our course for the open sea and keep a sharp lookout for whales. Many species of whales appear off the Icelandic coast in early summer in search of food and remain here until the end of summer. They then return south to their breeding grounds. You will also see numerous sea birds, which likewise feed in these rich waters. Operation: English: June 1 – August 20 - daily at 08:00
