Search for the wildlife and explore season the adventure of a lifetime on our express, small groups whale watching tour. Our specially engineered RIB boats get you closer and faster to the whales and puffins than our bigger boats. These stable and safe boats also allow us to search a bigger area, thus increasing your likelihood of viewing the whales, dolphins, and birdlife.
This fantastic whale watching tour starts from the Old Harbour in downtown Reykjavík. First, we ride out to the islands and see the puffins (season 15 May – 15 August) in their natural surroundings. Next, we head out further in search of the whales. Seeing the whales and dolphins as up close as you can from our RIB boats is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. After our whale tour, we sail back to Reykjavík, where we will take a ride along the cities shoreline, viewing it from the ocean. Including a stop at the harbor side of Iceland´s most famous building, the mesmerizing Harpa Concert Hall.

Good trip, know that you aren’t guaranteed to see whales–so this could be really disappointing. The sea was rough when we went out, so a lot of people were sick on board myself included but we did see whales, so that was worth it. There were a LOT of people on board, even for a rough day, so seeing around everyone was challenging. A crew member took photos, and they said high res were available online–even when we asked after we returned, but the best I could find were the web resolution photos with no high res downloads. Would Was it a good tour? Yeah. Would I do it again? Probably not. I would recommend waiting for a calmer day and getting on a smaller boat if you aren’t likely to chum the water.

The tour iteself was well organised. The floatation suits were great and very welcome and kept us warm in cold rainy conditions. Unfortunately we did not see any wildlife while we were out at sea, which got very rough and windy so the free sea sickness tablets were very appropriate : However, although it was disappointing not to see anything, we were given complimentary tickets for another tour at any time wihin two years which was a really nice gesture as it was never guaranteed that we would see the whales. The guides were friendly, the boat was good and the facilities were good. I woul recomment this company and will use them again if I get the chance to go back.

This was a great trip, we saw lots of white bottle nose dolphins, a porpoise and a minky whale. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and there was good facilities on board

Unfortunately, we didn and #39;t see any whales, but had a lovely boat ride. They gave us passes to come back that last two years. Thanks Elding, I hope to come back!
