Ólafsvík Whale Watching

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

As we set off, we'll skirt the coastline of the Snæfellsnes peninsula and admire the scenery, including the 4,700-foot (1,450-metre) high Snæfellsjökull volcano and its glaciers.

Once we are offshore, we'll start to sight whales. Species observed will depend on the time of year, including humpback, pilot, minke, sperm whales, and killer whales.

We will see these animals up close and potentially hear their songs and vocalizations. Dolphin families may also be spotted. During the trip, we will share fun facts to enhance your knowledge of these animals.

You will have opportunities to photograph Skarðsvík's golden sandy beaches, the city of Keflavík, and the Svörtuloft and Öndverðarnes lighthouses.

After 3 hours of adventure, we will return to the starting point and conclude the activity.
