El-02 Midnight Whale Watching
The midnight sun and the nature of the bay Faxafloi provide a unique wildlife experience. A trip out on the bay at night in midsummer is an unforgettable experience. The wildlife in the bay is at its highest peak. The mountains surrounding the bay get more effect in the colours of the midnight sun. We shut down the engines and enjoy the sound of the birds and the cetaceans.

The price of the tour is 55 € per person.
