Good to know - practical information
Whale watching is a year-round activity in Iceland, but there are some small differences between the summer season and the winter season.The summer season (1 April - 31 October) is great for whale watching, as the wildlife in the bay is at its highest peak! This is the time when the Minke whales are at their most abundant, along with White-beaked dolphins, Harbour porpoises, and the occasional Humpback whales, giving us the chance to enjoy and understand them in their natural environment.
The Winter season (1 November - 31 March) is a whole other experience and adventure compared to the summer tours. Each year is different and the winter low-lying sun is also something not to be missed, as it casts a warm glow over the white-capped mountains surrounding the bay.
We are at the mercy of the sometimes rough weather and tours can be cancelled or changed at short notice. We will let you know of any changes to your tour status as soon as possible.
Refunds are not offered in the case of unsuccessful tours. Our costs remain the same. We do however offer a free tour guarantee so you can try again if whales or dolphins are not spotted during your time with us.
