- Lundey - Sail out on two separate trips to see the adorable puffins on the islands of Lundey and Akurey, and to search for whales, dolphins, and porpoises in the waters of Faxaflói Bay.
During your puffin tour your guide will tell you all about these fascinating birds. The two islands are known for their puffin populations in the summer, with an estimated 30,000 birds returning each year to lay nest during the summer months. As you draw closer to the islands, peer through a pair of the boat’s binoculars for a closer look at these seabirds as they dive into the sea for food. You may also spot northern fulmars, gulls, Arctic terns and black guillemots.
On your whale watching tour you will search for the four most commonly spotted species: humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises. Pull on a pair of thermal overalls to shield you from the cold, and listen as your guide tells you all about the marine wildlife surrounding you. In the unlikely event that you don’t spot a whale, you will receive a complimentary ticket for another boat ride.
Please note: You can choose to do the tours on the same day, or on separate days during your vacation.
