of sea
animals to the surface.

Whale Safari
By boat we go out into the Disko Bay to spot whales. In the summer time
humpback
whales come to the Disko Bay to feed on the capelin, a small
herring-like fish. As the humpback whales are protected they are very
trusting
and can
often be enjoyed at close range. However, as this is not a zoo there
is of
course no guarantee for seeing the whales.
Duration: 5 hours (approx.)
