Setting out from the Old Harbour, this classic cruise heads into Faxafloi bay where minke whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises feed through the summer months, with the odd humpback a thrilling possibility. Onboard guides help you scan the swell and talk you through the marine life while you keep watch from the open deck. Sailings run year round, though summer brings the calmest seas and longest daylight. Wrap up warmly even on a mild day, as the wind off the water bites hard, and keep your camera ready for a sudden fluke.
