Join the Reykjavík Premium Whale Watching tour for an intimate 2-hour RIB boat adventure departing from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour.

Limited to just 12 passengers, this small-group experience ensures personalized attention and excellent opportunities to observe marine life. As you cruise through Faxaflói Bay, encounter various whale species, including minke and humpback whales, along with dolphins et porpoises. The tour also offers sightings of seabirds such as puffins (seasonal from late April to mid-August) and gannets. Onboard, enjoy panoramic views of Reykjavík’s skyline, the Harpa Concert Hall, and the Sun Voyager sculpture.

The RIB boat’s design allows for closer proximity to wildlife and the ability to cover a larger area, increasing the likelihood of sightings. A specially trained wildlife guide and a certified RIB boat captain accompany the tour, providing informative commentary throughout. Guests are provided with warm overalls, goggles, and necessary safety equipment. As the tour winds down and the city skyline comes back into view, you’ll carry with you the quiet thrill of meeting giants of the deep and the wild beauty of Iceland’s coastal waters—an unforgettable memory etched in the rhythm of the sea and the call of seabirds echoing across the bay.

Absolutely amazing and breathtaking morning spent with the very informative team. Puffins, dolphins and humpback whales were all seen. We spent a lot of time watching the whales, which was absolutely brilliant. Highly recommended.

An amazing trip. We saw Humpback Whales and Dolphins who came very close to the boat. Extremely well organised and professional tour. Would definitely recommend.
by Adventurer736550
Amazing trip. The crew were so knowledgeable and clearly cared about the whales to the point they had named and could recognise them. Not only that they were excellent at finding the whales, we encountered two Minkies and also a Humpback which we got great views of from a close but safe distance. A brilliant experience from start to finish!
by Tracey N
Very nice staff and loved the boat ride!! That was fun in Itself We saw 2 humpback whales and they have us some tail which was fabulous. I took so many pics and one of the staff also took pics that they’re sharing with the group which I thought was so very nice. Great experience and am glad I went with the smaller boat and this fabulous staff.

Amazing tour, the initial trip was cancelled due to poor weather but the team were great in helping us rebook and it was well worth it!

  • Is pick-up available for this tour?
    The tour departs from the conveniently located Old Harbour in downtown Reykjavík, just a short walk from most hotels and landmarks. Pick-up is not included for the Premium Whale Watching tour, so guests should make their way directly to the ticket office at least 30 minutes before departure.
  • Are there bathrooms on board?
    Due to the size and design of the RIB boats used for the Premium tour, there are no bathroom facilities available onboard. We recommend using the restrooms at the harbour before boarding.
  • Is it possible to purchase food/drinks during the tour?
    There are no food or drink sales during the Premium Whale Watching tour. We suggest bringing a reusable water bottle and any small snacks you might need, though the short tour length typically doesn’t require much. Cafés and shops are available nearby at the harbour for refreshments before or after your trip.
