About this experience
This unique whale watching tour departs in the evening from Reykjavík's Old Harbour. Experience the wildlife and nature adventure of a lifetime on our most personal whale watching tour as the sun sits gently above the horizon. Our custom made RIB boats are specially designed to get you closer to the whales and puffins than any boats can offer and the fast, stable and safe boats also allow us to cover more area as we search for the wildlife, thus increasing your chances of spotting whales, dolphins and birdlife.
