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 humpbacks!

Whale Watching by Speedboat

At the selected time, we'll meet at the meeting point of your choice in Reykjavik. We'll board a speedboat to Faxaflói Bay, home to humpback whales and other marine life such as killer whales and dolphins. The 2-hour speedboat cruise offers opportunities to see these animals, with the possibility varying by season.

This whale-watching tour takes place aboard a 40-foot (12 metre) speedboat, ensuring close encounters while maintaining safety. Our English-speaking guide will explain the characteristics and conservation of the humpback whales.

In summer, we'll approach Akurey Island, known for its puffin population during nesting season. Throughout the journey, enjoy views of the coast of Reykjavik. Remember to bring your camera.

The tour concludes at the original departure point.
