Plenty of room on the boat; good weather protection clothes provided; Friendly skipper; Note: there is no passenger cabin or covers so do wrap warmly under the supplied suits; keep your cameras covered with a plastic bag to protect from rain / sea spray.

Grudarfjordur is a few hours drive north of Reykjavik. It is beautiful and the whale watching is fantastic. We stayed at the youth hostel with overlooked the bay or you can stay at the Hotel Framnes . The hotel can arrange the whale watching boat trip. The whole peninsula is breathtaking. More
