The boat was great and the crew very helpful and informative. We appreciate being able to access the photos taken by Alex without having to buy them like most places make you. It was greatly appreciated. Alex was so knowledgeable and made all the information relatable.

The boat was nice, the people were great, especially the person who was the whale spotter. We saw lots of whales, some came real close to the boat. Even saw a few who breached close to the boat.

Set sail on a 3.5-hour guided whale-watching cruise in Faxafloi Bay, to spot humpback whales, dolphins, and porpoises in their natural habitat.

Learn from expert whale-watching guides about the behavior of whales and other marine life as they help you spot them with ease.

Enjoy panoramic views of Reykjavík’s coastline and spot marine life from the open deck or stay warm in the heated indoor cabin.

Buy snacks from the onboard cafeteria, ensuring a comfortable experience no matter the weather.

Enjoy peace of mind with a free return ticket if no wildlife is spotted, giving you another chance for unforgettable sightings.
