Overview
Though Iceland may be best known for the raw beauty of its landscape, it's also a go-to whale watching destination for international visitors. Experience these majestic creatures in the wild on this whale watching cruise on Faxaflói Bay. Just hop in your rigid inflatable boat as your guide skims you through Reykjavik Old Harbour, and helps you spot local species—like dolphins and porpoises—and migrating species, like the elusive and beautiful minke and humpback whales.
Highlights
- Cruise around Faxaflói Bay on a whale watching adventure, from Reykjavik
- Try to spot various aquatic species, and pass the seasonal puffin colonies
- Take in the views of Reykjavik, from its fishing huts to Harpa Concert Hall
- Get a great value with coveralls, safety gear, boat ride, and guide included

Both the guide and the captain were friendly and enthusiastic - they made the trip memorable. The boat offers a roller coaster of a ride.

The trip is worth it for the friendly knowledgable guide and captain, immense boat ride across the ice-like North Atlantic Ocean and the sheer feeling of anticipation that whales are swimming underneath the boat and one may just pop up. The captain was an experienced boater and…
