Description

Look for whales and other marine life in Faxafloi Bay on this express whale watching tour from Reykjavik's Old Harbor, a good fit if you're short on time.

After putting on warm flotation overalls, you board the boat, which has heated indoor cabins with restrooms.

Whale watching boats from the Old Harbor usually reach the whale watching area in about 15 to 20 minutes, and the express tour gets there even faster, while still giving you the same amount of time to watch for whales in the bay.

Minke whales, humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises can all be seen in Faxafloi Bay. Humpbacks are known for their surface behavior, such as diving and slapping their flukes, and if you're lucky, you may even see orcas.

Throughout the trip, your guide tells you about the whales and other marine life, and you can ask questions along the way.

At the end of the tour, you return to Reykjavik's Old Harbor.
