Winter season has proven to be an exciting and adventurous whale watching experience. The most common whales during winter season have been white-beaked dolphins, harbour porpoises, humpback whales and killer whales. Other whales, such as minke whales, fin whales and blue whales, have also been spotted on our tours over the last few years.The winter whale watching is different from whale watching in summer time not only because we spot other species, but also the weather can be quite unpredictable. On rare occasion, we depart from other harbours in the area where weather conditions might be more convenient. It is therefore our experience and flexibility that make winter whale watching possible in Iceland.

WHALE WATCHING WINTER

Winter season has proven to be an exciting and adventurous whale watching experience. The most common whales during winter season have been white-beaked dolphins, harbour porpoises, humpback whales and killer whales. Other whales, such as minke whales, fin whales and blue whales, have also been spotted on our tours over the last few years.The winter whale watching is different from whale watching in summer time not only because we spot other species, but also the weather can be quite unpredictable. On rare occasion, we depart from other harbours in the area where weather conditions might be more convenient. It is therefore our experience and flexibility that make winter whale watching possible in Iceland.

To make the trip even more comfortable, we provide our passengers with warm, floatable overalls and raincoats. For safety reasons, all children under 12 years of age are required to wear life jackets during the tour. To ensure that the animals are not disturbed by our presence, we sail at a constant speed towards the whales’ habitat. As a result, a variety of species, from humpback whales to tiny porpoises, often surface within a few feet of the boat!
