Akureyri-day-tour-Grimsey_puffins

  My 8-year-old daughter and I recently went on the winter day trip tour to Grimsey Island with Halla from Arctic Trip as our guide. She was awesome and made us... read more feel so welcome and comfortable on our tour! She encouraged us to look for dolphins just after our departure and what a show we witnessed! We saw many, many dolphins playing in the water and jumping in the wake of the ferry! It was so amazing to see that with my girl :) Due to precautions with the Covid-19 virus, we were not able to do all things normally done on the tour but we were okay with this. We had the entire lounge to ourselves on the ferry! Halla gave us chocolate treats and made us a grilled cheese sandwich with coffee/hot chocolate. She really went above and beyond and I am very appreciative of her hospitality. We crossed the Arctic Circle and received a certificate. This was awesome. It was great to learn about the history of the island and the locals. What a magical place. We will definitely return some day and spend some a few days there. Thanks Halla!!! You're the best!

*Note: my girl and I were fine on the ferry ride but we normally do not have seasickness when travelling by boat. Having said that, it is not for the faint of heart!!!
