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

We’ll pick you up from the nearest point to your hotel in Reykjavík and proceed to the harbor for a boat trip across Faxaflói Bay. Enjoy views of Reykjavík from the water as we sail into the Atlantic.

While at sea, we’ll have opportunities to spot humpback whales. The coastline is a common gathering area for these creatures, and we might also see dolphins or killer whales. Look for seabirds as well, which are another highlight.

During the trip, marine biologists on board will share expert commentary and facts about these marine mammals, including conservation efforts essential for maintaining ocean biodiversity.

After a great journey filled with wildlife sightings, we’ll return to Reykjavík, leaving you with lasting memories of Iceland’s natural wonders.
