Why choose Gentle Giants for your Iceland whale watching experience?
Welcome aboard!
Hey, did you see me? No? Too slow! How about another round of hide-and-seek? Wait, what – did you just call me a dolphin? Dear human being, I AM NOT A DOLPHIN - I’m the elusive HARBOUR PORPOISE! Just look at me: a rounded head, a short mouth, and a small curved dorsal fin.
