Iceland is one of the best places on Earth to see whales in the wild, and our whale watching tours sail from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour and beyond in search of these ocean giants. The cold, food-rich waters draw more than twenty species, from the commonly sighted minke whales and playful white-beaked dolphins to acrobatic humpbacks and, with luck, even orcas.
Choose a classic, comfortable boat tour or a high-speed RIB adventure, and in summer add puffin watching to the trip. Knowledgeable guides help you spot and understand the wildlife, and many tours offer a free second trip if no whales are seen.
Travel tips, new guides and a heads-up when the aurora forecast looks good. No spam.
