Our Whale Watching Experience In Iceland

Experience the wonders of Iceland’s marine wildlife with a whale-watching tour, a must-do activity for nature enthusiasts visiting the Land of Fire and Ice. Departing from Reykjavik or other scenic locations, this small-group adventure takes you into the nutrient-rich waters that attract some of the ocean’s most magnificent creatures.

Begin your journey aboard a specially equipped boat designed for comfort and optimal viewing. Glide across Faxafloi Bay, renowned for its abundant marine life, where you may encounter minke and humpback whales, playful white-beaked dolphins, and elusive porpoises. During the summer months, the spectacle often includes puffins and other seabirds nesting along the cliffs.

Expert guides onboard provide engaging commentary about the creatures and their significance to Iceland’s ecology and culture. High-speed RIB boats or classic vessels ensure an intimate experience, with panoramic views and opportunities to capture stunning photographs of breaching whales or dolphins riding the bow waves.

This tour, suitable for all ages, combines adventure with awe-inspiring natural beauty. Enhance your experience with warm overalls, refreshments, and binoculars provided onboard. Whale sightings are frequent, but in the rare event of none, many operators offer a complimentary second tour.
