Whales come to feed off Olafasvik and the Snaefellsnes Peninsula off Iceland’s west coast during the summer months. North Atlantic whales like humpbacks, but mostly blue whales come visiting in the summer but the usual inhabitants are minkes, sperm whales, orcas, basking sharks and dolphins. During the main season larger animals are spotted closer in to the land and in recent years the number of sperm whale and blue whale sightings has increased as water temperatures change. The glacial backdrop is also spectacular, especially on a lovely bright day and makes for pleasant views while you wait for a fin.
