Whale Watching Tours from Reykjavik

Spot humpback whales, dolphins, and puffins in the waters around Iceland.

Iceland's nutrient-rich waters are home to over 20 species of whales and dolphins, making it one of Europe's premier whale watching destinations. Our whale watching tours depart from Reykjavik's Old Harbour and take you into Faxaflói Bay, where you can spot humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbour porpoises. During summer months (May–August), you may also see puffins nesting on nearby islands. Combine whale watching with a Golden Circle tour for the ultimate Iceland day out. All tours include warm overalls, an expert marine biologist guide, and a sighting guarantee.
