Why choose Gentle Giants for your Iceland whale watching experience?
Welcome aboard!
These last few days, we’ve had some beautiful spring weather, with the sun finally showing up for us out on Skjálfandi Bay. And as the temperatures slowly rise, the snow has started to melt as well — bringing a whole new vibe! Besides that, after humpback whale Morrigan appeared earlier this month, another individual was spotted yesterday afternoon on Sylvía’s way back to port.
