Come aboard an exciting RIB speedboat and see the incredible wealth of marine wildlife that lives in the waters just off the shores of Reykjavík City. Nature lovers looking to see some of Iceland’s majestic whales, dolphins, and porpoises, but who wish to do so in a small group, should grab this chance now.

The tour starts from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour and during your journey, you will travel among the small islands in the Faxaflói Bay, as well as along the coast of Reykjavík, providing you with a fantastic view of the city as you search for wildlife in the water.

Please note

The tour has an age limit of 10 years & a height limit of 145 CM.

Since this is a wildlife tour we can never predict or guarantee sightings of any kind. In the event that we don't encounter any whales or dolphins, we do not offer refunds, but instead, give our passengers a complimentary ticket to use another day. We may cancel a tour due to bad weather or if the minimum number of participants is not reached.

This trip was fun ! Some patience needed for up close and personal viewing. But once it happens, it is wonderful. For both whales and puffins!

Just do it! We first did a whale tour with a big boat but could not match this. Seen 4 different species, a total of 10 whales and 2 species of dolphins. There is quickly found, and at the end the climax came with 2 humpback whales 2 meters away swimming alongside our boat. Thank you to Julien and the top captain. (We also stayed bone dry and had nice and warm)
Great whale watching experience in Reykjavik

This was a highlight from our time in Reykjavik. The speed boat tours created a smaller group experience compared to the larger boats that looked very crowded. Our guide was a marine biologist who answered all of our questions throughout the tour. I had read some reviews about the speed boats being rough, but we didn’t have any problems (it was a pretty calm day, though) and actually enjoyed hitting a few of the waves! We spotted several whales and dolphins during our tour - would definitely recommend this for anyone looking at whale watching tours in Reykjavik!

Very friendly crew and they tried hard for us to see all 4 varieties of whales. We did and got super close!
It was like being waterboarded ...

Honestly, this is nothing to do with the company, but I wanted to warn others about this activity in general in case it isn't their thing. I went with my husband and 11 year old son. We were given equipment to keep us warm and dry (pro tip, use ALL the equipment and bring a hat -- even in the summer). The first ten minutes were lovely. Then we got into open water and the real spray began. It was like sitting on a bicycle and having buckets of cold saltwater thrown on you repeatedly. Shoes: soaked to the point of being squishy. Jeans: dripping wet. Jacket: damp and cold. And this was WITH the one piece snowsuit they give you. I could hardly look around because there was seawater being blown at me on every down slope of every wave. It wouldn't matter anyway because we saw no whales, which I understand as the company has no control over that. I couldn't have taken pictures even if we'd seen something as my hands were soaked despite wearing gloves and it was far too wet to use my phone anyway. The guide and captain were very nice but I will NEVER do that again, despite the complementary ticket they offer when you don't see whales.
Wow, wow, wow!

One of the best whale-watching tours we've ever been on and we've been on a lot. Saw so many whales up close and personal. I know a lot of this was about luck but we also had a great captain and first mate. They found us the whales and would get us so close and would stay in one place long enough for the whales to resurface a couple of times before moving on. Wish we could do it again!
Exciting Adventure

We had a great time on this excursion. Claudia and our experienced captain took great care of us. This trip is just the right combination of excitement and fun. We saw minke whales, puffins and spent most of our time up close with two humpbacks whales. I highly recommend this adventure! Also kudos to their booking staff who provided excellent communication.
