What to expect

Escape the crowds and head out to see the wildlife in Faxaflói bay in a luxury yacht. In this tour you will be cruising along the beautiful coastline of Reykjavík and admiring the view of the landscape from the sea, before heading out to the bay in search of whales and puffins.

The giants of the ocean that you will be looking for are Minke whales and Humpback whales. With a bit of luck you might even spot a group of white beaked dolphins or harbour porpoises. During the summer months you will also be able to see a lot of different seabirds and puffins as you sail close to a puffin island.

This deluxe tour offers a more personal service with fewer passengers. In addition, the new interior was refitted in 2019, giving you the chance to experience the wildlife at sea in a truly luxurious and unforgettable experience.

TUI Into Langjökull Glacier
Activities

TUI Into Langjökull Glacier

Iceland is famous for its glaciers but until recently, what lies underneath the Langjokull glacier had been a mystery. In 2010, the first manmade Glacier Ice Cave was carved to take people inside the heart of this remote glacier ice cap. What's more, you'll also visit the Hraunfossar Waterfall.After arriving at Husafell base, you'll climb onto a rugged snow truck to start your ascent to the ice cave, exploring the rugged glacial landscape along the way. An experienced guide will lead the way inside, where you'll see the magnificent blue ice buried deep beneath the surface that stays at a constant temperature of 0°.All this is combined with stunning waterfalls and panoramic views of the mountains as you make your way north to the glacier. And on our return, you might – with luck – catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights dancing through the sky.
