Whale-Watching Boat Tour with Expert Guide from Reykjavik Discount Tickets

Overview

Two ways to see Faxaflói Bay: a leisurely 3.5-hour cruise or a 2.5-hour high-speed RIB — same whales, different ride. Both depart from Reykjavík's Old Harbour, where your guide kits you out in warm overalls and sets the scene before you leave the dock. Out on the bay, you're scanning for minke and humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbour porpoises — with up to 90% sighting success. Your guide narrates every encounter live, mixing marine biology with the kind of old sea stories that only make sense when you're actually out there. Camera out from the moment you clear the harbour mouth. If the cold gets to you, the heated indoor lounge has coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. If the whales don't show — unlikely, but it happens — your next trip is complimentary.
