Overview

This two-hour cruise departs from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour on a yacht designed for Northern Lights viewing. The boat features spacious observation decks, onboard restrooms, and WiFi. Guests can enjoy panoramic views as the yacht sails among the small islands of Faxaflói Bay and along Reykjavík’s coastline. During the trip, professional guides assist in spotting marine wildlife such as minke and humpback whales, dolphins, and porpoises, with occasional sightings of orcas. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase onboard. The Northern Lights are a natural and unpredictable phenomenon, so sightings cannot be guaranteed.
