Description

Discover the best of Reykjavik's nature and flavors on this six-hour whale watching and food walking tour. This unique combination tour blends adventure on the North Atlantic with a deep dive into Icelandic cuisine, making it a perfect way to explore Iceland's capital. 

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.

Humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises are the most common visitors to the bay. On rare occasions, lucky guests may even catch sight of orcas or blue whales.

Humpback whales, in particular, are exciting to see for their acrobatic displays and unique surfacing behavior. These gentle giants often breach the water, launching their massive bodies into the air before making a dramatic splash. 

As you admire these marine animals, your guide will enrich your experience with fascinating insights into Iceland's rich marine ecosystem, the behavior of these gentle giants, and the conservation efforts protecting them.

With spacious outdoor viewing decks and a heated indoor saloon, you can choose how to enjoy this adventure. Stay warm inside with large viewing windows or gear up in thermal overalls to embrace the fresh ocean air. 

Back on land, it's time to explore the heart of Reykjavik on a three-hour food walking tour. Led by a local foodie guide, this tour takes you to five of the city's top eateries, from hidden gems to popular street food stops. 

You'll sample a mix of traditional Icelandic flavors and modern culinary creations. Expect to try local favorites such as Icelandic lamb, fresh seafood, pastries, and more. 

As you stroll through Reykjavik's charming streets, your guide will share entertaining stories about Icelandic culture, history, and everyday life. There will also views of some of the city's iconic landmarks, including the Hallgrimskirkja church and the Rainbow Street.

This walking tour is not just about tasting great food but also a cultural experience that gives you an authentic look into the Icelandic way of life.
