Conveniently located in downtown Reykjavik, your adventure begins at the Old Harbor, where you'll meet your friendly and knowledgeable guides.

As you depart from the harbor, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of Reykjavik's most iconic landmarks, such as the striking Harpa Concert Hall and the towering Hallgrimskirkja church. Natural beauty will also surrounds you, with the majestic Esja mountain seen in the distance, offering a scenic backdrop as your marine adventure kicks off.

The waters around Reykjavik are filled with ocean life. Year-round, you'll find harbor porpoises and pods of white-beaked dolphins, as well as the great big whales. You can expect to see beautiful minke whales and, if you are lucky, impressive humpback whales, known for their playful surface breaches and tail slaps.

In addition to the marine mammals, the skies and cliffs around Faxafloi bay are full of birdlife. Puffins are often spotted during the summer, and you might glimpse seabirds like guillemots and arctic terns. On occasion, a seal may even be seen lounging on the rocks.

One of the key highlights of this tour is the small group size and the exclusive experience the RIB boat offers. With its modern design, shock-absorbing seats, and swift maneuverability, you'll have a comfortable and secure journey even if the seas get choppy. If you're concerned about seasickness, rest assured that the crew provides tablets to make you feel comfortable throughout the trip.
