Beluga and Puffin Sanctuary Visitor Centre with Aquarium
1.Beluga and Puffin Sanctuary Visitor Centre with Aquarium
Visit the SEA LIFE Trust Beluga Whale Sanctuary visitor centre for a close look at rescued belugas, a native-species aquarium, and a puffin hospital. The visit takes about 40 minutes. You will learn why the whales are cared for here, watch puffins being fed, and support conservation work on the island.
“Visiting the sanctuary was a highlight of our trip to Iceland! Not only did we get to delight in watching the puffins zip around their tank and being fed, the belugas had been brought into their observation tank for the winter. From what we understood, they spend the summer in the protected bay and are brought in for greater protection over the colder periods. We learnt a lot and were happy to be supporting such a great initiative. All animals seemed to be extremely well cared for.”
