Why June Is Prime Time for Whale Watching in Iceland
Long Days, Epic Views
June brings the midnight sun to Iceland, bathing Reykjavík and Faxaflói Bay in almost 24 hours of daylight. With golden hour stretching late into the evening. It’s the perfect time to head out on a whale watching or puffin tour and capture breathtaking photos in magical light.
Summer in Full Swing
The ocean teems with life in June. Puffins are fully settled into their nesting grounds, and whale activity is near its peak. It’s the ideal month for combining a nature-filled sea tour with Reykjavík’s vibrant summer atmosphere.
