What to bring

• Although warm overalls will be provided, dress in warm, layered clothing and carry a windproof, waterproof jacket. The weather on Skjálfandi Bay can shift drastically.

• Opt for sturdy, non-slip shoes that keep you steady on the deck.

• A hat, gloves, and scarf go a long way on this breezy bay.

• Bring a camera or binoculars if you want to capture close-up moments, but avoid flash to keep the experience gentle for the whales.

What’s not allowed

• For safety and space reasons, large bags, suitcases, and bulky luggage can’t be taken onboard.
