Why choose Gentle Giants for your Iceland whale watching experience?

As weeks pass by and the season proceeds, more and more humpback whale individuals pass by. Some stay just shortly, come and go, others stick around for a while, even for weeks. Some of these individuals are known from previous years, while others are newbies in the bay.

It commemorates the foundation of The Republic of Iceland on 17th of June 1944 and, therewith, celebrates the declaration of independence from Denmark. The date was chosen to coincide with the birthday of Jón Sigurðsson, a major figure of Icelandic culture and the leader of the 19th-century Icelandic independence movement.
