Our passionate and experienced crew will take you on a journey to meet this iconic seabird and will provide you with binoculars as well as stories only them can tell. Bird enthusiasts will also be happy to observe other spectacular species (guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, eider ducks, cormorants...). Pure Icelandic experience guaranteed!
