Overview

This whale watching cruise from Reykjavik takes about three hours along the coast near the capital of Iceland. The tour aims to observe whales, dolphins, porpoises, and seabirds in their natural environment. Sightings of whales and dolphins occur on over 90 percent of trips during both summer and winter. If no whales or dolphins are seen, the company offers a free ticket to join another tour. The boat operator follows environmentally responsible whale watching guidelines to reduce disruption to marine life by maintaining safe distances and limiting disturbance. Elding, the company running the cruise, is known internationally for its efforts to minimize environmental impact. Included on board are free WiFi, a live guide providing commentary, protective overalls and raincoats, blankets, and admission to a wildlife exhibition. Food, drinks, gratuities, and hotel transfers are not included. The operator welcomes passengers with limited mobility but notes that stairs and high thresholds restrict access to some indoor areas and toilets. Wheelchair users can bring lightweight chairs on larger boats, with prior notice recommended for boarding assistance. Tours may be cancelled or depart from an alternative harbor if weather conditions in Reykjavik are poor, which can increase the trip duration by one to two hours.
