Description

Immerse yourself in the exhilarating adventure of whale watching in Faxaflói Bay near Reykjavik. Utilize our speedboat for an intimate encounter with the majestic humpback whales!

Speedboat Whale Watching

At your designated time, we will gather at the meeting point of your preference in Reykjavik. We will then board a speedboat to navigate through the waters of Faxaflói Bay, a region in the North Atlantic that proudly shelters the humpback whale, an impressive marine species.

Throughout our two-hour speedboat journey, we will have the chance to observe the remarkable humpback whales that grace the waters surrounding Iceland. Additionally, we may encounter other marine life such as killer whales and dolphins. Keep in mind that animal sightings can vary with the seasons, making each trip a unique experience!

This whale-watching expedition is conducted on a 40-foot (12-meter) speedboat, enabling us to approach the marine life closely while prioritizing safety. An English-speaking guide will inform us about the fascinating traits of humpback whales, their lifestyle, and the significance of conserving these incredible creatures.

During summer months, we will venture closer to Akurey Island, where a thriving community of puffins nests. As we bounce across the waves, breathtaking views of the Reykjavik coastline will unfold. Be sure to capture these moments with your camera!

Your tour concludes at the same location from which we embarked.
