Combination 4.5-Hour Whale-Watching & FlyOver Iceland Tour in Reykjavik

Get close to one of Iceland's most beloved sea creatures and see some of the country's most iconic natural attractions without leaving the capital on this 4.5-hour combo tour. This exciting adventure takes travelers to Faxafloi bay to meet some whales before joining the FlyOver Iceland virtual flight ride.

The action begins when you meet a friendly guide at the Reykjavik Old Harbor pier. Depending on your booking preference, you can start with the whale-watching adventure before heading to the FlyOver Iceland facility and vice-versa. If you choose to do the whale-watching first, the guide will give a brief background about the tour. They will discuss some safety reminders and equip you with the proper gear.

You'll then ride a comfortable boat that will take you to scenic Faxafloi bay. Considered one of the largest bays in West Iceland, Faxafloi bay spans the area between the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and the Reykjanes peninsula. It's famous for being a hot spot for whale and puffin watching.

As your boat sails through the bay, the crew will search for whales. Humpbacks, minkes, and killer whales are the most common species living in these waters. You may also see harbor porpoises and dolphins playing around the area. 

For the next two to three and a half hours, you can enjoy these beautiful aquatic creatures while appreciating the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. In addition to the whales and other marine creatures, keep watch of the local birds swooping down from the sky.

After spending hours with the whales, your guide will take you back to the pier as you prepare for the FlyOver Iceland adventure. Combining cinema, storytelling, and state-of-the-art technology, FlyOver Iceland offers a unique and immersive way to experience the diverse landscapes of Iceland. It features a cutting-edge flight simulation ride that hangs you suspended before a 20-meter spherical screen.

To ensure safety, you'll be strapped securely before being lifted in front of the screen. In addition to the sharp visuals, the ride features motion seating, wind, mist, and scents to create a truly multi-sensory experience.

The flight path covers a wide range of Icelandic terrains, from the dramatic cliffs of the Westfjords to the serene beauty of the South Coast's black sand beaches. Along the way, you'll soar over active volcanoes, cascading waterfalls, sprawling glaciers, and steaming geysers.

 At the end of the ride, you can head to the cafe inside the facility to grab a quick bite and refreshments. You may also visit the shop for souvenirs and interesting local items.
