Just got back from the combo whale watching and northern lights trip and honestly, I’m still BUZZING. Went with my partner (who gets seasick but did fine, thanks to the ginger biscuits they give out!). Saw two whales up close, like literally you could hear them breathe. Crew was suuuper friendly, even offered to lend us extra gloves. Lights were a bit shy at first but then—boom—green streaks all over the sky. Boat has indoor heated seating, so you don’t freeze ur butt off. If you’re on the fence, just go for it.

If you’re even THINKING about doing this, just do it. Went with my sister and we both freaked out when the whale breached right by the boat. The guides were hilarious and knew sooo much about everything (like, did you know whales have fingerprints? Wild). Hot drinks on board and they let you borrow warm overalls if you want. The northern lights were weak at first but then totally EPIC for like 20 mins. 10/10 would freeze again.

Went solo because I didn’t wanna miss out and not many people wanted to go out in the cold lol. The boat was cooool, tons of space inside and out. I did get a bit cold so def layer up. Saw a whale tail slap and some seals lying on rocks. Didn’t see the lights, but they gave us a voucher to come back another night, which is nice I guess. Staff was super chill, answered all my questions.

Experience two of Iceland’s signature adventures in one day: a 3-hour whale watching tour and a 2-hour Northern Lights & City Cruise, all at a discounted combo price.

Spot humpback whales, harbour porpoises, white-beaked dolphins, minke whales, and winter seabirds in Faxaflói Bay, guided by an expert marine biologist naturalist.

Enjoy a break between tours to explore Reykjavík or grab dinner before heading back out for an evening cruise beneath the aurora-lit sky.

Stay warm with heated indoor spaces, panoramic viewing decks, and complimentary overalls, with free WiFi available on board.

Did you know? Humpback whales in Faxaflói Bay often return to the same feeding grounds year after year. Some individuals have been identified in Icelandic waters for over two decades.

We did this trip as a family of four. Mixed feelings tbh. Whale bit was cool (saw a minke whale and dolphins) but the northern lights didn’t show up at all. Staff kept spirits up with stories and hot chocolate, which helped. Bit crowded on deck when the whale appeared, so hard to get good pics. Still, the kids loved it. Would prob do only whale watching next time.

Loved every minute! Brought my teenage son who was glued to his phone until the whale popped up. Instantly turned into a marine biologist! Staff were super patient answering all his questions. Northern lights weren’t super bright but we still caught a glimpse. Boat was warm inside and clean. Would totally recommend for families.

Additional information

The total tour duration depends on the departure times you select. You’ll have a few hours of free time between the whale watching cruise and the Northern Lights sailing. Your confirmation email will outline the exact schedule.

Hotel transfers are optional. If added, you’ll be picked up only before the whale watching tour and dropped off only after the Northern Lights cruise. Additional transfers can be arranged on request.

Both sailings run only in safe sea conditions, and last-minute cancellations can occur. The team will notify you whenever possible, and it’s recommended to check the operator’s website for updates on the day of your tour.

Wildlife and aurora sightings can never be guaranteed. If your tour happens to be a “no-sighting day,” you’ll receive a complimentary return ticket valid for two years.

Onboard amenities include heated seating areas, large viewing windows, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a café/bar where you can purchase refreshments.
