2025년 8월5/5Booked the whale + puffin tour for me & my partner and I’m still buzzing about it! Puffin bit was first (tiny boat, so bring a warm layer, trust me). Saw soooo many little guys zipping around, and our guide had funny facts, like apparently they mate for life? Kinda sweet. Whale watching after lunch: bigger boat, windier, but the crew handed out thick overalls (I looked like a blueberry but I was warm). We saw dolphins and THREE humpbacks—one even breached!! Crew snapped pics so I didn’t stress about missing the shot. Only downside: bit crowded at railing during the first whale spot, but people shuffled politely. The coffee on board is not great, bring your own if ur picky. Still, would 100% do it again.2025년 8월4/5Puffins were adorable but quite far away, so bring binoculars or you’ll barely see their beaks. Whale tour was more my thing—got real lucky and saw a fin whale (guide was v excited, said it’s rare). Seas were a bit rough, my wife got queasy so take the seasickness pills they offer. Rain started halfway but we just moved inside, still got great views. Would’ve loved more time with the puffins, but overall solid day.2025년 8월5/5Two in one tour is such a clever idea. Did this with my teen daughter who’s bird mad. She lost her mind over the puffins, and the whale tour after was just EPIC. Cold wind, but staff gave us blankets. Saw dolphins racing the boat which I’d never seen before. Crew was friendly, joked around a bit, which I liked. Only thing: food options on board are meh, pack snacks if ur fussy.2025년 8월3/5Honestly, I was hoping for more whales. We only saw one, from kinda far, but the crew did try hard to spot them. Puffins were cute, but I felt the boat was a little packed. Weather was grey and a little cold, maybe that’s why wildlife was shy? Staff did give us good info and you get emailed photos after, which is cool. Not bad, just not mind-blowing.2025년 8월4/5Came solo and met some nice folks on the boat. Whale spotting was the highlight for sure. Saw two humpbacks and a pod of dolphins. Puffin tour was just okay for me—birds are small and fast, hard to photograph without a good zoom. The guides are knowledgeble and funny, which made the slower bits more fun. Bring extra layers, gets chilly!
Spot whales and puffins up close on a 2-hour RIB speedboat tour from Reykjavik led by an expert
Getting started

What to expect
This 2-hour guided tour offers a unique perspective on Iceland’s marine life, taking you to areas larger boats can’t reach. Led by a specially trained marine biologist, you’ll explore the waters around Reykjavik during peak puffin season (20 April–15 August) and have the chance to spot whales, dolphins, and seabirds.
