FRIENDLY GIANTS

The North Coast of Iceland is rich with abundant wildlife. The deep narrow fjords around Akureyri are a magnet for several species of whales, orcas, dolphins and porpoises every year as they feed and breed – whale-watching tours from the North Coast have near-perfect records.

Humpback whales are one of the most common types of whales you can see while on a whale watching tour in Iceland. These giants of the sea are known for their acrobatic displays, often breaching out of the water and slapping their tails on the surface. They are easy to identify, with their long pectoral fins and distinctive knobbly head.

If you are lucky you can even spot Blue Whale, Orca (killer whale) or a Fin Whale.

FOLKLORE & MYTHOLOGY

Dimmuborgir is a place of wonder and mystery in Iceland. Translated as “dark castles,” this lava field is home to a collection of uniquely shaped rock formations that have been sculpted by nature over time. These formations range from towering pillars to caves and arches, each with its own unique character and story.

Dimmuborgir is a place of great significance in Icelandic folklore and mythology. Legend has it that this is the dwelling place of the Yule Lads, thirteen mischievous characters who come to town during the Christmas season.

But Dimmuborgir is not just a place of myth and legend. It is also a geological wonder, with unique rock formations that have been shaped over thousands of years.
