All about the trip

Experience a unique encounter with a humpback whale. See the huge body underwater just a few meters from the boat. Dolphins jumping up and accompanying boats as well as puffins with their brightly colored beaks are all part of the amazing wildlife of Iceland you can watch on this RIB boat tour.

We set sail from the Old Harbor of Reykjavík. During the puffin season from early May to the end of August we can watch their large colonies nesting on coastal cliffs.

Next, we head out in search of whales. It is an once-in-a-lifetime experience to see the giant sea creatures. From our custom made RIB boats you can watch them close at sea level. As well as dolphins swimming by the boat.

Then we sail back to Reykjavík and enjoy a cruise along the city's coastline with the glittering Harpa Concert Hall and the sculpture of the Sun Voyager in view.

Our boats are equipped with high performance suspension seats for your maximum safety and comfort. You will be accompanied by an expert guide and a captain.

With the flexible ticket you can change the date of your departure up to 2 hours before the scheduled departure.

And if we are unlucky and cannot find whales or dolphins you can join one of our other whale watching tours for free.
