Occasionally, you might even spot killer whales, fin whales, sei whales, and long-finned pilot whales.
Explore Iceland’s Incredible Wildlife
Our tours offer more than just whale watching. The bay is a haven for birdlife, including puffins, gannets, and guillemots, all feasting on the plentiful fish. The breathtaking landscapes surrounding the bay provide a stunning backdrop, offering spectacular views that you won't want to miss.
Begin Your Adventure at the Old Harbour
Start your journey at our ticket office located by the Old Harbour in downtown Reykjavík. Exchange your pre-paid voucher for boarding tickets and visit our Visitor Centre, housed in a converted fishing vessel. Here, you'll meet our crew and explore a unique floating wildlife exhibition, learning more about the animals you may encounter.
Comfort and Convenience Onboard
Board our whale watching boat through the Visitor Centre, featuring outdoor viewing platforms, a heated indoor saloon with large viewing windows, a cafeteria with light refreshments, toilet facilities, and a cloakroom with blankets and overalls. Whether you prefer the fresh air outside or the cozy indoor lounge, you'll have the perfect vantage point to enjoy the tour. Our naturalists provide live commentary, ensuring you don't miss any sightings.
Whale Watching All Year Round
While summer offers the best chance to see a variety of whales, winter tours also surprise us with numerous sightings. Our research shows that more whales are staying in the area year-round, making every tour unique and exciting.
