Venture into Faxaflói bay with our expert crew and specially trained marine biologist naturalists. Led by our passionate crew, you will explore the whales of Reykjavík and learn about the incredible wildlife that call Iceland their home. Encounter a variety of whale species, such as humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of majestic killer whales, fin whales, or long-finned pilot whales!

The bay is even full of birdlife, from charming puffins to northern gannets and arctic terns, the skies are teeming with life. Watch as these incredible birds dive and feast on the abundant fish that thrive in the bay. Surrounding landscapes offer a beautiful contrast to the vast sea, with stunning mountains on the horizon creating a picturesque backdrop.

While summer brings an abundance of life to the bay, each winter continues to surprise us with its own unique encounters. Our ongoing research shows that numerous whales inhabit the area all year round, making every season an ideal time to explore these nutrient rich waters!

Make the most of your day by combining this activity with Puffin Watching in the summer, or Northern Lights Cruise in winter! Alternatively, you can book our Premium Whale Watching for a more exclusive experience, or explore our combo tours if you're seeking even more adventures!
