Embark on a 3hr boat trip from the coastal village of Olafsvik on the north coast of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Travelling on a modern vessel with plenty of deck space for whale watching, there’s no better place in Iceland to spot orcas.
There are also opportunities to spot blue, fin, humpback and minke whales as well as numerous seabirds.
The landscape is magnificent around the glacier and even more so from sea. The Snaefellsjokull glacier rises majestically into view from wherever you are at sea.
Duration: 3 hours approx.
Price from: £72 per adult, £36 per child
