About Tour
Embark on a one-of-a-kind whale watching adventure amidst the magical summer sun and eternal daylight of Iceland. This tour offers a chance to witness the beauty of the bay and its marine life while the mystical midnight sun bathes the surrounding mountains in a stunning orange and pink glow.
Meet us at our ticket office in the Old Harbour, Reykjavík, where you’ll exchange your pre-paid voucher for admission tickets. Our staff will guide you to our floating wildlife exhibition, housed on a converted fishing vessel, where you can explore our multimedia show featuring images, videos, and fascinating facts about whales and marine life.
The 2.5 to 3.5-hour evening cruise offers the chance to spot minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, harbour porpoises, and possibly even humpback whales, just like our daytime tours. To enhance the experience, we often turn off the boat engines, allowing you to enjoy the tranquil sounds of the water, wildlife, and birds.
As you return to port, mellow music sets a relaxing mood, perfect for a romantic evening or the start of a night out in Reykjavík. Refresh yourself at the onboard bar, and don’t miss our special “Whale Punch!”
Please note that this is a wildlife tour, and sightings cannot be guaranteed. If no whales or dolphins are encountered, we’ll offer complimentary tickets to try again another day.
Given Iceland’s unpredictable weather, please dress warmly and plan accordingly. In case of unfavorable conditions, the itinerary may be adjusted or the tour cancelled. We’ll notify you promptly of any changes, and we recommend checking our online whale diary for updates.
