Whale Watching Tour

General information

Destination
Reykjavik, Iceland

Program details

Enjoy a magical journey into Faxaflói Bay with our expert crew and specially trained naturalists. Discover the whales of Reykjavík under the excellent guidance of our marine biologist guides and learn all about the incredible wildlife that calls Iceland their home.



The area is also teeming with wildlife, from puffins and gannets to guillemots and more, all of which actively feed on the bountiful fish found in the bay.



Take the time to admire the magnificent landscapes surrounding the bay which add a unique contrast to the vast ocean, where the spectacular views on the horizon are certainly not to be missed.



After boarding, make the most of the outdoor viewing platforms, which boast incredible views over the bay, a heated indoor saloon with large viewing windows, a cafeteria where you can buy light refreshments, toilet facilities, and a cloakroom where you can borrow blanket and overalls for the duration of the tour.



You are most likely to spot common species such as minke whales, humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises during the tour, however, on occasion, you may get the rare glimpse of killer whales, fin whales, sei whales, and long-finned pilot whales!



The whales are most abundant in summer, giving us a great chance to enjoy and understand them in their natural environment. Each year continues to surprise us however with the variety of whales we see in winter, and as our research shows, more and more whales are staying in the area all year round!
