Description

Experience the magic of Iceland’s summer nights on an exhilarating whale and puffin watching tour from Reykjavik. Set out in a small, high-speed RIB boat, designed for stability and comfort, as you explore the wildlife-rich waters of Faxaflói bay under the glow of the midnight sun.

Get up close to majestic whales, playful dolphins, and colorful puffins in their natural habitat. The evening cruise offers the same incredible wildlife encounters as daytime tours, with over a 95% chance of spotting whales during the summer months. Knowledgeable captains and wildlife guides ensure you won’t miss a moment of the action.

Your journey takes you around rugged islands where puffins nest, then out into open water for a thrilling search for whales and dolphins. After your wildlife adventure, return to Reykjavik with a scenic ride along the city’s shoreline, passing landmarks like the Sun Voyager sculpture and the striking Harpa Concert Hall.

This two-hour tour includes the expertise of a professional captain and wildlife guide, as well as warm overalls and all necessary safety gear for your comfort. Tours are conducted in English and accommodate small groups for a more personal experience. Please arrive 30 minutes before departure and note that the tour is suitable for ages 10 and up, with some health restrictions.

If you don’t spot any whales, you’ll receive a complimentary ticket for another tour on a larger boat. Puffin sightings are available from mid-May to late August. Don’t miss your chance to witness Iceland’s incredible marine life—check availability and book your spot today!
