Embark on a 3 to 3.5-hour whale watching journey departing from Reykjavik’s Old Harbor, choosing your preferred departure time. Meet the captain, attend a safety briefing, don the provided coveralls, and settle on the deck or in the indoor cabin.

As the boat sets sail, enjoy onboard commentary about the marine life in Faxaflói Bay, and discover fascinating facts about the minke and humpback whales that often visit these waters. Take in the stunning views of the Icelandic mountains while keeping an eye out for whales, porpoises, and white-beaked dolphins—don’t forget to have your camera ready! If, by chance, no whales are spotted, you’ll receive a ticket for another cruise.

Before or after the whale watching tour, independently visit the Whales of Iceland exhibition, the largest of its kind in Europe dedicated to whales. Marvel at life-size models of various whale and dolphin species, including belugas and killer whales, and see replicas of the minkes and humpbacks you may encounter on the boat tour. Gain insights into these majestic sea creatures from the informative displays, and perhaps enjoy some refreshments (at your own expense) at the café before departing. The Whales of Iceland museum is open daily from 10:00 to 17:00 (Closed on December 25th).
