Zoom around the Icelandic waters aboard a custom designed RIB speed-boat, and enjoy close-up views of whales, dolphins, puffins and more. The small yet powerful vessel is not just manoeuvrable out on the waters but also capable of reaching high speeds, allowing you to cover a larger area and get closer to the Reykjavik wildlife than you would in a classic boat. After seeing the sights on the open water, enjoy panoramic views to admire Jón Gunnar Árnason’s 'Sun Voyager' sculpture and Harpa Concert Hall on the shoreline. Numbers are limited to 12 per boat on this tour offering an unique small group experience with an expert captain & wildlife guide.

  • Ægisgarður 5d, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland
    This great whale watching tour starts from the Old Harbour of Reykjavík and during the puffin season (early May to the end of August) we also visit the puffins in their natural habitat. Next we head out in search of the whales. There are very few things that will beat the experience of seeing the whales and dolphins as up close as you can at sea level from our RIB boats. On this fun tour the fast, stable and safe boats also allow us to cover more area as we search for the wild life, thus increasing your chances of spotting whales, dolphins and bird-life.
    5 minutes
  • Akurey, Iceland
    During the puffin season (early May to the end of August) we also visit the puffins in their natural habitat, at the Islands of Akurey, Engey or Lundey just outside of Reykjavík. The journey here is a short one, and we spend around 5-10 minutes with the Puffins. Puffins, auks, gannets and an incredible variety of other sea birds dominate the skies and sea cliffs just a few minutes sailing from the Old Harbour. Our RIB's are fast and small so we get you extra close and extra quickly out to the islands!
    10 minutes
  • Faxafloi Bay, Reykjavik, Iceland
    Next we head out in search of the whales in Faxaflói Bay. There are very few things that will beat the experience of seeing the whales and dolphins as up close as you can at sea level from our RIB boats. Our whale watching boats are equipped with high performance suspension seats. These shock absorbing seats increase safety and comfort and reduce the risk of injuries. So you can comfortably & securely enjoy your whale watching adventure out on the North Atlantic waters.
    90 minutes
  • Sun Voyager, Reykjavik, Iceland
    After the whale safari we travel back to Reykjavík, where we will take ride along the city's shore line, experiencing a unique panoramic view of Reykjavík from the sea (perfect for photos). Our boats will take you past the Sun Voyager sculpture on the seafront.
  • Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre, Reykjavik, Iceland
    We then go by the harbour side of Iceland's most famous building, the glittering Harpa Concert Hall.
    5 minutes
  • Ægisgarður 5d, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland

Miquel was our guide, he was very knowledgeable and the RIB captains were awesome too. We saw lots of whales and puffins! Would definitely recommend and do it again!

This is a must if you are going whale watching. Don’t go in the big boats go on these small group speed boats. You spend much more time with the whales and other wildlife. The captain is excellent and the guide is so friendly and knowledgeable. It is such an organised set up. You must do it! Wrap up warm, wear gloves and hats (they will provide if needed). I was a little scared at first but soon got into it. A fantastic experience with amazing staff

Turen blev aflyst de første to gange men da vi endelig kom afsted var det en god tur. Så flere pukkelhvaler ret tæt på.
