Whales & Lava Cave Exploration

On this short, year-round caving adventure we journey into one of the great hidden lava caves in the outskirts of Reykjavík. As we make our way into the cave, we discover the beauty of stalagmites and stalactites, learn more about the formation of lava caves and their role in many different Icelandic myths. During late winter, guests can sometimes see beautiful ice formations inside the cave. Just getting into the cave when snow has built up can be an adventure itself. The trip is suitable for most people, but to finish a round trip in the cave, adventurers must be ready to crawl and bend down for a short distance. This trip is a great introduction to Icelandic Lava Caves.

Whale Watching:

Summer season (1 April – 31 October) is great for whale watching, as the wildlife in the bay is at it’s highest peak! This is the time when the Minke whales are at their most abundant, along with White-beaked dolphins, Harbour porpoises and the occasional Humpback whales, giving us the chance to enjoy and understand them in their natural environment.
Winter season (1 November – 31 March) is a whole other experience and adventure compared to our summer tours. Each year continues to surprise us with the wildlife it offers. The winter low lying sun is also something not to be missed, as it casts a warm glow over the white-capped mountains surrounding the bay and to breathe in the winter’s fresh and crisp air is just incredible.
