Horses and Whales

You won't spot abundant wildlife roaming Iceland's desolate landscape. But look a little closer and you'll learn that the lineage of Iceland's wildest residents — the one-of-a-kind Icelandic horse, the arctic fox, the reindeer, even the sheep — dates back to Iceland's settlement or earlier. Discover Iceland's unique animals, whales, and puffins, on a tour hand-picked by the Grapevine travel team.

Every booking made here also supports The Reykjavík Grapevine’s journalism. So hey, thanks!
