Whale Museum
Our tour includes a ticket to the Whales of Iceland Exhibition in Reykjavík, near our meeting point at the harbor. On the same day, before or after our adventure, we recommend a stop at this whale museum in Reykjavík. Here you will discover how small we humans are compared to whales.

Whale watching in RIB
Let's set sail! With a speed of 32 knots, in our specially modified 12-meter boat, we have the opportunity to cruise through Faxafloi Bay, the place where the whales feeding grounds are. We will sail looking for the humpback whales, the most common whales in the area, however, usually orcas, dolphins and other marine giants will come to greet us.

Akurey Puffin Island
Let's continue with the Faxafloi Bay whale watching. The best thing about doing this tour in summer is that we can get close to Akurey, the puffin island. Our guide will tell you all about the whales and these colorful birds. Don't forget your camera!
After two hours of cruise time, we will return to port and our whale watching express from Reykjavík will be over.
