Whale Watching

Join us on a journey along Iceland's coast to witness the whales of the North Atlantic in their natural habitat. This experience includes close encounters with these marine mammals.

Activity Details

We will pick you up from the closest point to your hotel in Reykjavík and head to the harbor to initiate the boat trip across Faxaflói Bay. Enjoy views of Reykjavík from the water as we sail into the Atlantic.

Out at sea, you'll have the opportunity to spot humpback whales. This coastline is known for its whale gatherings, and you might also see dolphins or killer whales, along with various seabirds.

During the trip, marine biologists on board will provide expert commentary on these marine mammals and discuss the importance of conservation efforts for ocean biodiversity.

After an enriching experience, we will return to Reykjavík with lasting memories of Iceland’s natural wonders.
