Whale Watching by Speedboat

Enjoy the unique experience of whale watching in the Faxaflói Bay off the coast of Reykjavik. Your speedboat will allow you to get close to the incredible humpbacks!

Whale Watching by Speedboat

At the selected time, we will meet at the meeting point of your choice in Reykjavik. We will board a speedboat to Faxaflói Bay, where the humpback whale resides. During our 2-hour speedboat cruise, we will spot humpback whales and potentially other marine life such as killer whales and dolphins. The number of animals seen may vary depending on the season.

This tour is aboard a 40-foot (12 metre) speedboat, allowing us to safely get close to the animals. An English-speaking guide will explain the characteristics and lifestyle of the humpback whales, emphasizing the importance of their protection.

If you book during the summer, we will approach Akurey Island, known for its puffin population. As we return, you will enjoy views of Reykjavik's coast. Don't forget your camera!

The tour concludes at the original departure point.

Meeting points

When you make your reservation, you will see a list of hotels in Reykjavik, indicating the nearest meeting point. Most streets in the center are not accessible by bus, so you will need to go to the designated "Bus stop" and number. For example, for "8:30 pm - 1919 Hotel Radisson BLU (Please stand by for pickup at bus stop no 4 - Tryggvagata)", be ready at 8:30 pm at bus stop number 4 (Tryggvagata). Location details will be in the booking confirmation.
