Description

Enjoy an exhilarating boat ride on a RIB and get the chance to see whales when you book this incredible guided excursion. Wildlife lovers eager to see these magnificent creatures while experiencing an unforgettable adventure should book this small-group tour now.

Your adventure begins at the meeting point in Reykjavik Harbor. You'll meet the expert local guide and the other guests joining the tour. This excursion is a small-group tour, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask your guide questions.

You'll receive warm overalls, gloves, goggles, and all the safety equipment you'll need for the tour, including a life jacket. Be sure to wrap up warm and wear plenty of layers and sturdy outdoor shoes, as it can get cold on the water.

Once you have all your kit and are ready, it's time to board the RIB. A RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) is a versatile watercraft known for its exceptional performance and stability on the water. It has inflatable sections that provide extra buoyancy, allowing it to handle rough seas and high speeds easily.

RIBs are the perfect whale-watching vessel, as their speed and agility ensure you can get up close and personal with the whales. You'll zoom out of the harbor, enjoying spectacular views of Reykjavik's shoreline as you sail through Faxafloi Bay. Look for city landmarks like the Harpa Concert Hall and the Sun Voyager sculpture.

Your experienced guide will take you to picturesque spots where you have the best chance of seeing whales. They'll also be able to tell you more about the different species of whales and their behavior along the way.

During the tour, you may get the opportunity to see minke whales, humpback whales, and even orcas. You could also see harbor porpoises and dolphins. Watching the whales breach, tail-slap, and feed in their natural habitat is a fantastic experience you shouldn't miss when visiting Iceland.

Remember to bring your camera with you so you can capture these majestic sea creatures.

While whales are often seen on whale-watching tours, this is not guaranteed. If there are no sightings during the tour, you can join another tour, or your guide will give you a voucher to return within the next three years.

At the end of your thrilling ride, you'll return to Reykjavik Harbor, where you'll disembark. You can spend the rest of the day at your leisure.

Take advantage of this opportunity to gaze at whales and enjoy an exciting ride through Faxafloi Bay on a RIB. Check availability now by choosing a date.
