Opt for either a relaxing 3.5-hour cruise or a swift 2.5-hour high-speed boat trip, and then head to Reykjavik’s Old Harbor to board your luxurious whale-watching vessel.

Find a cozy spot on deck and put on the provided coveralls to stay warm. Don’t forget to bring a hat, scarf, and gloves to ensure extra warmth. Listen as your guide shares information about the marine life you might encounter and fascinating facts and tales about these majestic creatures.

As the boat departs from the harbor, keep an eye out for porpoises, white-beaked dolphins, minke whales, and humpback whales. Have your camera ready — with up to a 90% success rate in spotting whales, this Faxaflói Bay cruise offers a wonderful opportunity to see these magnificent animals. If you don’t happen to see a whale, you’ll receive a complimentary ticket for another cruise.

If you feel chilly during the trip, warm up inside the comfortable viewing area, where coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and light snacks (at your own expense) are available.

After 2.5 or 3.5 hours, your adventure concludes with a drop-off back at your hotel (if booked directly with the provider).
