Join a whale-watching excursion from Reykjavik and admire these cetaceans in their natural environment: Faxaflói Bay!

Go in search of the Minke and humpback whales that populate Faxaflói Bay! Thanks to this whale-watching excursion departing from Reykjavik, you'll be in close contact with Iceland's wild and unspoilt nature!

On arrival at Reykjavik harbour, you will meet the Reykjavík Sailors team. First, they will explain how the trip is organised and give you all the safety instructions you need to follow. Then, you will be dressed in warm wetsuits and taken aboard a boat equipped with comfortable interior cabins, a bar and a wifi connection.

Finally, you will leave the Icelandic capital and sail towards Faxaflói Bay, a bay located in the south-west of Iceland, between the Snæfellsnes peninsula to the north and the Reykjanesskagi peninsula to the south. From Faxaflói Bay, you can admire the surrounding fjords, including Kollafjörður. Surrounded by the Esja and Álftanes mountain ranges, the Kollafjörður fjord offers incredible scenery, which you will have the chance to discover on this whale-watching excursion from Reykjavik. If the weather is clear, you may even catch a glimpse of the magnificent Snaefellsjökull glacier in the distance!

This whale-watching excursion from Reykjavik will be led by experienced guides who will be delighted to teach you all about these marine animals. Throughout your whale-watching tour in Faxaflói Bay, from May to August and weather permitting, you'll be able to see orcas, dolphins and whales.

Ondanks de slechte weersomstandigheden en de wat wildere zee toch walvissen gezien! Ongelooflijke ervaring op een prachtig stuk natuur. Pilletjes voor zeeziekte liggen klaar aan de balie.

Great experience. We saw so many whales and three different types of species. Could not be better...

Unfortunately we did not see any whales, but we saw some dolphins. We knew upfront there is a slim chance to see whales, but they could rename the tour to "Wildlife Watching" instead of Whale Watching
