Whale Watching The Classic Whale Watching is a 2,5-3,5 hr. family-friendly sightseeing tour that takes you into Eyjafjörður where you can experience the unparalleled comfort and stability of our ship whilst viewing the sights of the fjord under the commentary of one of our excellent guides. We will teach you all about the whales and nature in the surrounding area as well as answering any questions! Goðafoss Goðafoss Waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland. Nicknamed the Waterfall of the Gods due to its history. In the year 1000, Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði made Christianity the official religion of Iceland and proceeded with throwing his statues of gods into the waterfall. The water falls from a height of 12 meters over a width of 30 meters.
