Whale Watching

Join us on a journey along Iceland's coast to witness the majestic 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 head to the harbor for a boat trip across Faxaflói Bay. Enjoy views of Reykjavík from the water as we sail into the Atlantic.

Out at sea, we will have the chance to spot humpback whales, with potential sightings of dolphins or killer whales. Seabirds are also highlighted in the area.

Marine biologists on board will provide commentary and insights on these marine mammals, discussing conservation efforts and their importance for ocean biodiversity.

After an enriching journey of wildlife sightings and coastal beauty, we’ll return to Reykjavík with memories of Iceland’s natural wonders.

Whale Sightings

Whales are unpredictable; thus, sightings cannot be guaranteed. While Iceland's coast is a likely place to find them, chances depend on natural and weather factors.
