Gentle Giants always wants to improve and develop to offer better service to passengers and not at least to minimize the impact on the environment. We are aiming on making our whale watching as sustainable as possible.
Another good season has come to an end. This summer 2011 has been very nice regarding both whales and weather conditions. Thousands of passengers from all over the world joined our various tours this year, experiencing the wildlife of Skjálfandi Bay.
All good things come to an end, and so also our whale watching season 2011. Thanks to all our passengers, crew and cooperators for a great season!Every summer has its own highlights and below you can read more about three of my favourite memories from 2011 through clicking the links.
When Sylvia left the harbour this morning it promised to become a sunny trip and everyone on board was really motivated to find some of the whales that we have had in the bay during the last days.
Sunshine, southerly winds and flat sea. Those were the whale watching conditions during the last days - just perfect, and we hope that it stays like this!Fortunately have not only been lucky with the weather, but also with the whales.
September has so far been a really autumny month where both weather and whales have come and gone. Mainly minkes and dolphins have been spotted. Tomorrow, 16th September, we will cut down to only one daily whale watching departure; 9:45. Amma Sigga does not go on any scheduled tours but is still available for tailor made excursions.
The Icelanders call it “bræla” when big waves and strong winds make it nearly impossible to go out to sea. We have experienced a real autumn storm during the last days but went out today and had a for the conditions a successful trip with minkes and dolphins.
The first days of September have already past and the whales are still in Skjálfandi Bay. Both humpbacks and minkes could be seen during the trips. The whales have been very calm, while resting on the surface, and they let the boats come very close.
