Huge Thank you- Takk Fyrir to Totti, Hrolfur and Belen for one of the best experiences in my life! Belen, an expert in love with nature, during the tour despite interpreting the whale activities, was covering all the questions that were coming up out of curiosity about the location and Iceland in general. And even though at the beginning of the tour it seemed to be quiet, thanks to the Captain's huge amount of years of experience and knowing precisely whales' behaviour and several showing up locations- lead us to extraordinary experience of watching several whales communicating by unique way of displaying their body language, such as waving flukes and flippers. Also, one of them appeared at breathtaking distance from the ship just to take some deep breaths before diving in for food and Captain suggested to wait a bit longer, as he knew that this same whale will appear again in several minutes..and it was worth the wait! Generally, would like to give a huge reminder for everyone who is seeking to meet those gorgeous giants that this is not a show per your request, during whale watching tour you might get to see a lot of whales, but also you might get to see none of them. This depends purely on natural activities and factors. Go with this risk and don't get disappointed if you won't see any, go the next time, it's fine.

Some changes made due to c-19. We moved from sailing ship to motorized bigger, but the passengers where well separated and most appeared to distance avoiding. We were well informed days before tour on change of ship and that the service of hot chocolate and cinnamon cookies would be suspended. Kristian did a vey good guidance aboard and after all we had more than ten humpback whales sightings as well as some nices. A few puffins even swam clise to ship. A very good experience. You get 20% discount in museum with the ticket as well as some others in restaurant etc in harbour.

10. Lush to Lunar Askja Tour

Husavik Airport, Iceland Mystic Iceland

The Askja Caldera tour brings out the essence of Iceland nature experience. The day begins early, heading into the barren wastelands of Iceland´s interior. Our ride is a Jeep and the CO2 impact of the whole trip is offset by a certified agent. There will be stops along the way in order to meet locals who show us the “hows” and “whats” of living in this wonderful place of contrasts. Along the way there will be plenty of photo ops, offering the chance to capture the incredible beauty and landscapes that go from lush to lunar. Lunch stop is en-route depending on conditions on the way, including delicious locally sourced ingredients. We will stop by to visit the place that NASA used as a training ground for astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin for the Apollo 11 lunar landing in 1969. Askja is an active volcano, which last erupted in 1961. The tour includes a hike to the explosion crater Víti (e. Hell) where it is possible to bathe in the geothermal lake in the crater.

Inclusions: Packed lunch, Dinner with non-alcoholic beverages
