The Andrea gives extra comfort, with great inside and outside viewing decks. The Andrea is very family-friendly with an educational and interactive focus where their passengers get to see and feel whale teeth and bones and see specimens from the ocean that are shown to them on an on-board screen using special microscopes.

The most common whales spotted include Minke Whales, White-Beaked Dolphins, Harbor Porpoises and even the majestic Humpback Whales.

Warm clothes and good footwear are recommended - and don't forget your camera!
The tour is dependent on weather and sightings cannot be guaranteed
Weather and sea conditions can be unpredictable during the winter months; the captains will make their decision to sail based on many years of experience, always keeping in mind passenger safety and comfort
Sometimes in the winter, you might sail from other harbors south of Reykjavik for better sea conditions, in which case we provide transport for all our passengers to and from Reykjavik; in this case the tour might be slightly longer due to the extra drive
