A warm floatable overalls, life jacket, googles to protect your eyes and gloves are provided.

We sail from Kópavogur harbor. It takes about 15-20 minutes to get to the area where we expect to find some whales/dolphins.

For about 60 minutes we experience the thrill of searching for wild marine life in the ocean, preferably admire them and take pictures.

While sailing back to shore we play some music. We speed along the cost of Skerjafjörður and into Fossvogur. Out by the golden sanded beach of Nauthólsvík we stop, relax and try a local Icelandic specialty: harðfiskur (dried fish). The dried fish is a healthy snack, rich in protein and nutrients, and a “must try” when in Iceland.

While returning back to the harbor you really get to feel the power of the RIB boat and we aim to make you feel like it is a rollercoaster on the water!!!

We provide you with warm floatable overalls so you don't have to worry about getting cold. We advice you however to wear warm or comfortable clothes, warm socks, good shoes (sneakers or hiking boots) and a scarf/buff.
