Itinerary

This is a great combination of two separate boat tours from Reykjavík. First, you’ll join a puffin tour on a smaller boat where we’ll take you to one of the three “Puffin Islands” just off the coast of Reykjavík. Each summer, thousands of birds come here to breed. With the small boat, we’ll get as close to the birds as we can in order to observe them in their natural habitat.

After the puffin tour, you’ll have some free time in the harbor before the whale watching tour begins. You can explore the harbor or have something to eat or drink in one of the many cafés in the harbor area. On the whale watching tour, you’ll sail from Faxaflói Bay where you’ll probably see Minke whales, dolphins, and porpoises. You may even see humpbacks or orcas if you are lucky!

It is home to a plethora of different species, with minke whales, humpbacks, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises often seen and other species like sperm whales, orcas, and blue whales also patrolling the waters. Our expert guides will tell you everything you need to know about these majestic giants. Seeing them in the flesh is an experience that will remain with you for the rest of your life, so don’t delay and book this incredible experience today!
