Reykjavik Whale Watching

Join us on a journey along Iceland's coast to observe the whales of the North Atlantic in their natural habitat.

Activity Details

We’ll pick you up from the nearest point to your hotel in Reykjavík and proceed to the harbor for a boat trip across Faxaflói Bay. Enjoy views of Reykjavík from the water.

While at sea, we’ll have opportunities to spot humpback whales in their natural habitat. The coastline attracts these creatures, and we might also see dolphins or killer whales, as well as seabirds.

We will learn about these protected mammals and the importance of biodiversity in Atlantic waters. After observing the whales and birds, we’ll return to Reykjavík.

The tour lasts approximately 2.5 to 3.5 hours.

Whale Sightings

Faxaflói Bay is a prime location for whale watching, though sightings can vary due to factors like ocean currents, winds, and weather conditions. The Arctic climate can change rapidly, affecting animal behavior.

The duration of the tour may vary depending on weather and the time needed to locate the whales. The activity is conducted with respect for the animals' natural habitat.
