Useful Information
Whale-Watching Tour from Reykjavik
Scan the water for harbor porpoises, white-beaked dolphins, minke whales and humpback whales, keeping your eyes open for the signs of life you learned from your guide. The whales of Faxaflói Bay often surface quite close to the boat, so be prepared for an unforgettable experience!
When you get cold, warm yourself up inside the luxurious and cozy viewing area, where complimentary hot coffee, tea and hot chocolate, as well as some light refreshments (refreshments at own expense) are available.
If you take this tour between May 1 and August 15, you’ll also go to the 'puffin islands' Akurey and Lundey, where thousands of seabirds, including puffins, nest every year.
With 95% whale-spotting success, this whale-watching tour provides a fantastic chance to see whales! In the unlikely event that you don’t spot a whale, you will receive a complimentary ticket for another boat ride.
Don't forget to bring your camera, scarf, hats and gloves!
Enjoy a leisurely 3.5 hour whale watching cruise, or join the high-speed cruise with the express option. Only 2.5 hours you will get to see all of the same wildlife but on board the luxurious high speed boat.

Pick up from hotel was a bit difficult, since the driver waited in another street.. (have could we have known???) We had to call them, so they came back for us and it was no trouble after that.. And we were lucky enough to see a whale:)
