About this experience

Along the Snæfellsnes Peninsula coastline, you have the best chance in Iceland to encounter two of the ocean’s top predators: orcas and sperm whales, each during their respective seasons. Besides these species, we may also encounter humpback whales, minke whales and white-beaked dolphins, with sightings varying throughout the season. 

Animal welfare and conservation are central to our operations. As the only tour provider in this area, we ensure a responsible and respectful approach to wildlife, strictly adhering to the Code of Conduct for responsible whale watching. Our vessels approach marine life slowly and carefully to minimize disturbance, and we are committed to ongoing research and education initiatives.

Join our orca and whale watching tour from Ólafsvík and experience the rich marine life of Breiðafjörður in the wild.
