Overview

This whale-watching boat tour departs from Reykjavik to search for marine animals such as minke whales, humpback whales, harbor porpoises, and white-beaked dolphins in Faxaflói Bay. Guests receive thermal overalls, including children’s sizes, to wear during the trip. The tour offers heated indoor seating for comfort while cruising the waters. An expert guide provides commentary throughout, sharing information about the wildlife and the environment. There are two tour options: a Classic cruise lasting about 3 to 3.5 hours, departing at 9:00, 13:00, and 17:00, and an Express cruise lasting about 2 to 2.5 hours on a faster boat, departing at 10:00, 14:00, and 21:00. Departure times vary by season. Complimentary sea sickness tablets are available if needed. If no animals are seen during the tour, a free ticket is provided to try again. Food and drinks can be purchased onboard, but gratuities and hotel transfers are not included. The Classic tours include German language guidance from May 1st to September 30th. The tour operates in a range of weather conditions, so appropriate clothing is recommended. If sailing is canceled due to weather, guests may reschedule or receive a full refund. Hotel pickup can be arranged for an additional fee. The 3 to 3.5 hour cruise is wheelchair accessible.
