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

At sea, we’ll search for humpback whales, which frequent Iceland’s coastline, and with luck, we may also see dolphins or killer whales. Seabirds are another highlight during the trip.

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

After the journey filled with wildlife sightings and coastal beauty, we will return to Reykjavík, leaving you with lasting memories of Iceland’s natural wonders.

Whale Sightings

Whale sightings cannot be guaranteed, as they are unpredictable. While Iceland's coast has a high likelihood of whales, sightings depend on various natural and weather factors.
