Why choose Gentle Giants for your Iceland whale watching experience?
Welcome aboard!
May has already come to an end, and we feel lucky to have filled it with so many special moments out in Skjálfandi Bay. A month full of unforgettable experiences, many guests seeing whales for the very first time, others lucky enough to witness rare behaviors in wild nature, and some embracing the more challenging days of sailing in the North Atlantic.
››MoreSince the start of May, the bay has been growing more vibrant by the day. More and more humpback whales have arrived, and the sight of migratory birds on the water continuously increased. Among them is the Arctic tern—one of the most tireless wanderers on Earth.
››MoreAfter the first jumps of the season just recently, we had a day all about pectoral slapping the other day—a reminder of just how expressive and active humpback whales can be at times. Pectoral fins in whales are the evolutionary equivalent of the forelimbs of land mammals.
