Why choose Gentle Giants for your Iceland whale watching experience?
Welcome aboard!
Skjálfandi Bay is best known as a feeding ground for juvenile and adult humpback whales. Numerous individuals visit the bay throughout the season, many of them returning year after year. Since humpback whales migrate to subtropical and tropical waters to give birth, calves are not a common sight in the area.
