Here is your chance to see the incredible whales and dolphins of Iceland in their natural habitat. The vast fjord's vibrant life and plenitude of food bring the larger-than-life Humpback whales that call Akureyri their home.
Enjoy a relaxing guided evening walk dedicated to Yoko Ono and John Lennon’s continuing campaign for world peace. The tour unites history, art and nature and is set on the beautiful island of Viðey, mere minutes from Reykjavík by boat.

Preview textToday once again we had a lot of luck with the weather and whales! We set sail and found a total of 4 humpback whales very close to harbour! Two were travelling together, coming up in unison and showing the fluke! One we never saw resurface and the last one was solitary and acting a bit more erratic. We also spotted 4-5 grey seals on our way back home.

Preview textWe sailed out in beautiful calm seas and the sun had just come up as we entered the bay. Just 10 minutes into the tour we had already found our familiar humpback whale, Banana! After a little loop around the area, we returned to find a second humpback whale and even saw a cheeky grey seal! All in all, a great winter afternoon in Reykjavík with its wonderful wildlife.

We sailed under a clear sky with little to no clouds and a lot of stars. Even though we had no luck with the auroras, we had a beautiful evening. In the end, we of course offered complimentary tickets so our guest could try again another night.

The stars were bright and with no clouds in sight, we sailed out past the islands and waited patiently. Unfortunately however, the auroras never showed up for us, so we offered everyone onboard complimentary tickets to try again for free!
