In a nutshell

Sailing along a splendid fjord, we keep our eyes fixed to the sea, hoping to catch a glimpse of the whales or some of the many other marine creatures that flock to these waters in great numbers.

Main stops

Cruise on the Ísafjarðardjúp
Following the Snæfjallaströnd
Whale-watching and wildlife spotting

The programme

We climb aboard our craft for the day and set off to explore the largest fjord in the region, the Ísafjarðardjúp, which cuts deep into the Westfjords landscape flanked by spectacular, towering mountains.
From the comfort of out boat, which has covered seating for all passengers, we coast alongside the surreal Snæfjallaströnd mountain range with its evocative, striated grey rocks and white, snow-covered glaciers.
If we look carefully, with a little luck, we may spot huge whales swimming in the sea not far from us. In these waters, whale-watching has a better-than-average chance of success.
During our cruise, we will be sure to meet some of the other characters from the ocean environment, from the puffins that fly along the coast to the friendly seals darting happily between the waves.

Good to know

There is about 10 min walk from the ship to the whale watching pier, on paved and even ground.
