Premium Whale Watching from Reykjavík

What you'll experience.

The Premium Whale Watching from Reykjavík tour is an exhilarating adventure starting from the Old Harbour in Reykjavík.

The Premium Whale Watching from Reykjavík tour is operated with only 12 person per boat with specially trained whale guide and certified RIB boat captain.

The tour

Experience the adventure of a lifetime and search for wildlife on our premium, small group whale watching tour. Our specially engineered RIB boats take you closer and faster to the whales and puffins than larger boats, allowing you to search a wider area and increase your chances of viewing whales, dolphins, and birdlife. This tour starts from the Old Harbour in downtown Reykjavík.

First, we ride to one of three islands near the harbour and check out the breeding puffins (season: May 1st – August 20th). Then we head out further to search for whales and dolphins. Seeing the wildlife up close from our RIB boats is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. After exploring the sea, we sail back to Reykjavík, riding along the city shoreline. You’ll have unique views of the city, the Sólfarið viking ship sculpture, and the mesmerizing Harpa concert hall.
