Join the experienced crew of Special Tours for a whale watching adventure you won't forget! This tour typically sails on Andrea, one of the largest whale-watching boats in Iceland known for her stability and comfort.

The Andrea gives extra comfort, with great inside and outside viewing decks. The Andrea is very family-friendly with an educational and interactive focus where their passengers get to see and feel whale teeth and bones and see specimens from the ocean that are shown to them on an on-board screen using special microscopes.

The most common whales spotted include Minke Whales, White-Beaked Dolphins, Harbor Porpoises and even the majestic Humpback Whales.

In der Bucht von Reyjkavik ist es sehr unwahrscheinlich, Wale zu sehen. Maximal Delfine und auch das in der Zeit eher unwahrscheinlich. Aber das muss man vorher wissen.

Voldoende ruimte voor iedereen om de walvissen te zien als ze er waren Was fantastische reis En binnen warme ruimte om even wat warms te drinken

Ondanks dat er minder kans is walvissen te zien in januari toch een paar gezien,voor de kou krijg je een dikke overall.
