What you can expect

  • Embark on a 9 PM whale-watching cruise for a captivating 2–2.5-hour journey into Faxaflói Bay. Search for humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and other marine wildlife as you explore the rich feeding grounds just off Reykjavík's coast. Return to Reykjavík Harbour around midnight after an unforgettable evening at sea.

    Meet at the Special Tours ticket office at Geirsgata 11, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland, before boarding your whale-watching vessel. As you leave the harbour behind, enjoy the unique atmosphere of Iceland's long summer evenings and the beautiful coastal scenery surrounding Faxaflói Bay.

    Throughout the tour, expert guides provide engaging commentary about the local wildlife, marine ecosystem, and whale behaviour while helping maximise your chances of sightings. Whether you spot a humpback whale breaching in the distance or a minke whale surfacing nearby, every moment offers an exciting opportunity to connect with Iceland's incredible nature.

    If no whales or dolphins are sighted during the tour, you'll receive a complimentary ticket to join another whale-watching cruise free of charge.
