Ólafsvík Whale Watching

Sail through the Atlantic Ocean in search of marine wildlife on our Ólafsvík Whale Watching experience. You'll visit one of the best places in Iceland for dolphin and whale watching on this unforgettable activity.

Ólafsvík Whale Watching

At your chosen time, we'll meet on Norðurtangi Street at the Ólafsvík port. From there, we'll board a boat and begin our dolphin and whale watching experience around Iceland's coast.

We will skirt the coastline of the Snæfellsnes peninsula and admire the scenery, including the Snæfellsjökull volcano and its glaciers.

Once we move away from the coast, we may see whales, including humpback, pilot, minke, sperm whales, and possibly killer whales, depending on the season. We may also observe dolphin families and hear their songs and vocalizations. Throughout the trip, we will provide information about these animals.

During the boat trip, you'll have the chance to capture images of Skarðsvík's beaches, the city of Keflavík, and the Svörtuloft and Öndverðarnes lighthouses.

After between 2 and 4 hours, we'll return to the starting point and complete the activity.

Whale Watching

Ólafsvík is strategic for whale watching; however, animals are unpredictable. The number of whales seen will depend on factors like sea currents, winds, and weather conditions. Arctic weather can change quickly, affecting animal behavior.

The duration of the tour may vary based on weather conditions and the time taken to locate the whales, and the activity is conducted with respect for their natural habitat.
