Iceland : Killer Whales and Northern Lights

Departures: January to March Duration: 4 nights Price: from £598

Head out on boat trips for close-up encounters with the large groups of orca that often frequent the Grundarfjordur bay! Right in the middle of the aurora season, this time of year is also fantastic for northern lights activity. In the company of knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides, this is a small group tour of around 25 participants.

Our first whale watching trip was magical and we were so fortunate as all the conditions were in our favour and we had 90 minutes of whale watching.
