About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.
For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.
About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.
Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.

The Moby Dick whale watching in Keflavik pioneered in southwest Iceland and is the only such company run by a woman. Starting from scratch, Helga Ingimundardottir, a local tour guide began the operation in co-operation with a local captain and owner of a small boat in 1994.
The company grew due to the popularity of the trips and now it owns a 160-ton steelhull boat, the Moby Dick, Helga takes an ever-increasing number of whalespotters out daily during the operation season. Carrying up to 90 passengers, the M/S Moby Dick comes equipped with a promenade deck and foredeck for optimum viewing. Facilities on board include a spacious lounge offering a tasty selection of snacks, sandwiches and hot and cold drinks, along with a range of attractive souvenirs of a memorable day out.
The boat trip takes approximately three hours, and departures are daily from April - October. The Moby Dick team offers hotel pick up transfers at your Reykjavik hotel. On the way home, weather-beaten "sailors" have the option of indulging in a hot soak at the stunning Blue lagoon. When you take this trip, be sure to bring along a few things if you can. First of all, no matter how warm it is on dry land, it can be a completely different story out on the open sea. So pack those woolen hats and mittens and take along your extra sweater just in case. Of course, in the case of a bit of rain, the crew has a store of extra rain jackets on board.
