Ægisgarður 5d - This fantastic whale watching tour departs from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour. During puffin season (early May to late August), the tour includes a visit to see puffins in their natural environment. The journey then continues in search of whales. Few experiences compare to observing whales and dolphins up close at sea level from our RIB boats.
On this exciting tour, the fast, stable, and safe boats allow for a wider area to be covered in search of wildlife, enhancing the chances of spotting whales, dolphins, and birdlife.
-
Akurey - During puffin season (early May to late August), the tour also visits puffins in their natural habitat on the islands of Akurey, Engey, or Lundey, just outside Reykjavík. The trip is brief, with about 5-10 minutes spent with the puffins. Puffins, auks, gannets, and a remarkable variety of other seabirds fill the skies and sea cliffs just minutes from the Old Harbour. Our RIBs are fast and small, allowing for a quick and close approach to the islands!
-
Faxafloi Bay - The tour then proceeds to search for whales in Faxaflói Bay. Few experiences rival seeing whales and dolphins up close at sea level from our RIB boats.
Our whale watching boats are equipped with high-performance suspension seats. These shock-absorbing seats enhance safety and comfort, reducing the risk of injury. This ensures a comfortable and secure whale watching adventure on the North Atlantic waters.
- Sun Voyager - After the whale safari, the tour returns to Reykjavík, offering a ride along the city’s shoreline for a unique panoramic view of Reykjavík from the sea, perfect for photos. The boats pass by the Sun Voyager sculpture on the seafront.
- Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre - The tour then passes by the harbour side of Iceland’s renowned Harpa Concert Hall, a glittering architectural marvel.
- Whale Safari - Finally, after an incredible sea adventure, the tour returns to the harbour approximately two hours after the start time.
