The most common whales in our bay are the baleen whales, minke whales, humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises. Besides the whales, we also see a lot of sea birds — different kinds of ducks and seagulls, puffins, razorbills, kittiwakes, sea gannet and more. Occasionally we see killer whales, pilot whales and other types. Although highly unusual, fin whales and blue whales have been seen on occasion.

This boat tour is made even more incredible due to the incredible views you can enjoy from the boat. These include Snaefellsnes peninsula (sometimes called “Iceland in miniature”), Reykjanes Peninsula, the Blue Lagoon, Reykjavik City, and the mountains Esja and Akrafjall.
