Reykjavik November (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
Due to go to Reykjavik in mid November for 3 days. Unlike usual holidays will not have a car but will apparently be going on something called the Golden Circle Tour. Which I assume means hours on a coach punctuated by a couple of 10 minute breaks to walk around a shop. Don't ask, not my choice! Is there the remotest of chances that I might see a Harlequin either in and around Reykjavik or on the aforementioned tour? Advice/moral boost/hope gratefully welcomed.

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike

I can give you advice, not sure about moral boost and I may dash your hopes but Harlequin is not likely at all on the Golden Circle Tour in winter as Harlequins winter at sea and that tour doesn't visit the coast. And the chances of seeing Harlequin in Reykjavík itself in winter are also very slim. They are quite common 40 minutes from Reykjavík though, so if you are here over a weekend we may be able to sort something out.

That's very helpful. Thank you
