13 days to Christmas dear folks! A bit of a crazy weather out there, ahn?! It’s the Yule Lads coming to town! Christmas in Iceland is a little different. Instead of one Santa, Iceland has thirteen. This thirteen Jólasveinar are called Yule Lads. One by one they take turns visiting children on the 13 nights leading up to Christmas. Tonight kids will place their shoes in the window in hopes that the Yule Lad will give them a little gift. The first Yule Lad called Stekkjastaur is on its way from the mountains. We got a word from Grýla that Stekkjastaur hid a present at Whales of Iceland and challenged our visitors to look for it! If you are the lucky one return to our staff and get the full prize! Ho ho ho 🎁 🎅 #visitreykjavik #helloreykjavik #reykjavikloves #whalesoficeland #reykjavik #iceland #icelandicxmas #icelandsecret #yulelads #mystopover #wowmoment #jólasveinar #13santas

Our friends @specialtours just spotted a Humpback whale in the harbour ! We are totally blown away and amazed by this once in a lifetime experience 🐋 After it swam right past us we just watched it head slowly further out to the Faxaflói bay where we hope to see it in our coming tours! #specialtours #whalewatching #whale #reykjavik #iceland #reykjavikloves #iheartreykjavik #visitreykjavik #helloreykjavik #humpbackwhale #sustainable #seatours
