Your tour begins with a thrilling three-hour whale watching excursion from Reykjavik's Old Harbor. You'll meet your expert guide and the rest of the group here before boarding a spacious boat.

As you sail into the vast Faxafloi bay, breathtaking coastal views of the capital city and surrounding mountains unfold. Keep your eyes on the water as your expert guide helps spot the bay's most common marine visitors.
