The Experience
What your day looks like
Search for the wildlife and explore the seas on the adventure of a lifetime on our premium, small-group 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 one of three islands close to the harbour and check out the breeding puffins (season 1 May - 20 August). Next we head out further in search of whales and dolphins. Seeing the wildlife as up close as you can from our RIB boats is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and experience. After exploring the wonders of the sea we sail back to Reykjavík, where we will ride along the city shoreline. Along the coast, we will have views of the city from a unique angle, Sólfarið Viking ship sculpture, and mesmerizing Harpa Concert Hall.

The entire experience was excellent. The guide/operator (Whale Safari) was great, and there were multiple whales & dolphins we saw, as well as puffins and even a harbour seal. We would definitely book this tour again if we have the chance to travel to Iceland once more.
