Whale Watching

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

Activity Details

Pickup will be from the closest point to your hotel in Reykjavík, followed by a boat trip across Faxaflói Bay. Enjoy views of Reykjavík from the water.

We aim to spot humpback whales as they gather along Iceland’s coastline. There may also be sightings of dolphins and killer whales, as well as seabirds.

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

After the trip, we’ll return to Reykjavík, offering you memorable insights into Iceland’s natural wonders.
