Welcome to the Ice Whale!
Iceland is an incredible place to go whale watching - in fact it is one of the best locations in Europe! In total, there are 23 types of whale can be seen in the waters around Iceland. The best time to see whales is from May to September.
Please choose an Ice Whale operator in Iceland, as they stick to guidelines to ensure boats don't get too close to whales or disturb them. Don't forget - you can also watch whales from land in some parts of Iceland.
We recommend that you dress warmly as the Arctic wind at sea can be chilly, even on the warmest days.
