What to expect

Have you always wanted to see whales in their natural environment? What about some playful white-beaked dolphins and some typical birds? Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to discover Iceland's sealife from up close! Hop onboard the biggest whale watching boat in Iceland, and leave Reykjavik's harbor and go on a trip to see the majestic whales in the North Atlantic Ocean. Due to the size of the boat, it is very stable on the sea, with fantastic inside and outside areas and plenty of space for everyone. There is even a café and a souvenir shop on board.

Your friendly guides, along with the captain and crew, will point out where you can spot the whales and will also give you interesting information about the different species you can expect to see in this area. The local birdlife is very diverse, including birds such as the Puffin, Arctic tern, Gannet, and many species of gulls.

This tour has an educational and interactive focus, which means that you get to see and feel objects including whale teeth, bones, and baleen plates. You will also see specimens taken out straight from the ocean.
