A RIB is faster than the wind and therefore, makes it more likely to find the big whales. Nothing is guaranteed but on this tour, your chances to encounter some of the world’s biggest animals ever increase – big time!This tour also includes a visit to the Puffin Island, where you can experience thousands of puffins during the nesting period (May 1st – August 20th).There is nothing that beats the smell of the sea on a sunny day at Skjálfandi bay.
