About this tour

A day of two speeds: an ATV ride across the volcanic landscape, then a boat out to where the whales feed. Seeing whales in Iceland is at its most reliable through the summer months — humpbacks are the dependable stars, with dolphins and porpoises as the supporting cast — and an orca sighting as the rare lottery win.
