The marine rich waters of Iceland offer some of the best whale watching opportunities in Europe and with 90% sighting record of Blue whales as well as a trip to see white-tailed sea eagles and the Blue Lagoon, this is a popular holiday that is both memorable and awe-inspiring.
Encounters with cetaceans such as blue whale, humpback, orca and white-beaked dolphins are both impressively frequent and never likely to disappoint. Humpbacks are the most popular sighting amongst whale watchers but no other whale compares to the largest of all, the blue whale. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula, on the west coast of Iceland is one of the few places in world where they can be found and remains the best place in Europe to witness these cetaceans.
Based in Olafsvik, at the foot of the ice-capped volcano, you can enjoy two full days on each trip to maximise the chance of enjoying encounters with humpbacks, blues, orcas, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises. Snaefellsnes peninsula also offers some impressive bird watching opportunities and on the itinerary is a bird watching cruise to see magnificent white-tailed sea eagles, along with puffins, shags and other seabirds. A swim in the surreal and incredibly relaxing waters of the Blue Lagoon, completes this great trip.
