Hop off your ship and onto another for a shore excursion on Faxafloi Bay, home to a variety of marine life like minke whales, humpback whales, harbor porpoises and White-beaked dolphins. You will cruise around Puffin Island, where you’ll also see the diverse local birdlife.
This Reykjavik shore excursion takes you for a whale-watching cruise on Faxafloi Bay, where you’ll keep your eyes open for marine life like minke whales, humpback whales, harbor porpoises and White-beaked dolphins. The bay is also home to Puffin Island (known as “Lundey”), a haven for the local birdlife, which includes puffins, Arctic terns, gannets and gulls.
After the whale-watching tour and before you return to your ship, you can explore the Whale Exhibition Room, situated in an old capelin fishing vessel, Fífill, which was transformed into an exhibition and information center on whales and seabirds.
