Tour Itinerary
On this fantastic whale watching tour you will observe the whales in their native environment which is an unforgettable experience.
We will sail on Faxaflói bay, home of a unique variety of Minke whale, the Humpback, Harbor Porpoise and the White-beaked Dolphins, which are all common sights on this tour.
The local bird life is also diverse, including such birds as the Puffin, Arctic Tern, Gannet and many varieties of Gull.
After the tour you can explore the Whale Exhibition Center that enables you to witness the mysteries of the ocean. It is situated in an old capelin-fishing vessel "Fífill" which has been transformed into an exhibition and information centre on whales and seabirds.
The entrance to the Whale Exhibition Room is free of charge for whale watching passengers. A return transfer is not included in the tour price. The harbour is just a "stones throw" away from the city centre, so it will only take you a few minutes to reach the city centre on foot after your tour. Local busses, taxis and a shuttle service (offered by the whale watching company Elding), are available to those that do not want to go downtown (extra charge).
During the winter months, departures are only offered at 13:00.
This tour is also available as a combination tour:
AH74 Whale Watching and Golden Circle Afternoon
AH78 Whale Watching and Blue Lagoon to Keflavík Airport
AH79 Whale Watching and Blue Lagoon Direct
