About This Tour
Set sail from Reykjavik's Old Harbor on a whale watching adventure in Faxaflói Bay, one of the best places in Iceland to observe these magnificent marine mammals in their natural habitat.
During this 3-hour cruise, you'll have the opportunity to spot various whale species including humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises. Our experienced marine biologists serve as your guides, providing fascinating insights into whale behavior, biology, and conservation.
Faxaflói Bay offers a unique whale watching experience with the stunning backdrop of Mount Esja and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula on clear days. The nutrient-rich waters attract whales to feed, especially during the summer months when sightings are most frequent.
