Go on a unique cruise during the famous midnight sun period and observe whales in their natural habitat!
The midnight sun period, which also covers the polar day, is a unique and mystical moment to experience once in a lifetime. This natural phenomenon, which occurs around the summer solstice, allows us to observe, as its name suggests, the sun at midnight. It's daylight all the time, and in the evening the colors become flamboyant, a spellbinding spectacle.
Go to the old port of Reykjavik, the Icelandic capital, and climb aboard an observation boat in the company of a professional crew.
You'll then set off on a cruise lasting around 3 hours, around the bays that surround Reykjavik, including Faxaflói Bay.
Various species of cetaceans live in or pass through Faxaflói Bay for much of the year, and if you're lucky you'll have the opportunity to come across humpback whales, Minke whales also known as minke whales, white-beaked dolphins or harbor porpoises. Keep your eyes open during the cruise and be patient, you're sure to be rewarded with a unique spectacle!
