Project Description

Beluga and Puffin Boat Trip

Enjoy going on a guided boat trip and visit the first beluga whale sanctuary and then sail to islands nearby that are amazing puffin colonies. Before or after the trip you and also visit the Beluga Whale Sanctuary that is situated on the harbour in Vestmannaeyjar.

Little White and Little Grey are two belugas that moved recently to Vestmannaeyjar. These belugas used to work in the show-business in China but where moved to Iceland so they can enjoy their retirement. As they have always been in captivity it is not possible to set them free into the nature as they can not provide food for themselves. But with the world-s first beluga whale sanctuary we can provide for them in the wilderness.

Highlights of the trip:

  • Meet the belugas; Little White and Little Grey, in the Beluga visitor center ashore – either before or after the boat trip
  • Get informed about the sanctuary and the belugas
  • Wildlife such as puffins, kitty-wakes, gannets, and fulmars
  • Information about our wildlife around Vestmannaeyjar
  • With your booking to this trip you are providing for the belugas and their safety

NOTE at the moment the belugas are inside the visitor center ashore – however we will take you to the bay where they are going to be living and after or before the trip you can see them inside the visitor center. 

This is a 1 hour round-trip boat tour, with free admission to the Visitor Centre, which is approximately a 2 minute walk from the boat departure area.

Your visit directly funds the care of Little White and Little Grey and we really appreciate your support.
