Itinerary
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 and 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.
