• CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 13:00

Today's whale watching tour from Reykjavík is on schedule! Remember to dress according to weather and feel free to borrow our thermal overalls if needed!

Report from Eldey: The weather felt like a true Icelandic day, a bit of wind and bit of light. But fear not! We found a pair of humpback whales just outside Viðey! We were truly amazed by these individuals as they have been together swimming around the shores of the capital for almost 2 weeks now! They were very nice whales, giving us fluke dives on every angle! After a while, we decided to head away from these good boys and go a bit further out. After about 20 minutes of sailing, a splash from a pod of 5 white-beaked dolphins was spotted next to us. They came to greet us by giving us a few close ups and going under the vessel. This species is known for it's acrobatics but no jumps were registered. However they were going in every direction so we decided to let them be and return to the humpbacks before we get back to the harbour.
