Combination 4-Hour Puffin & Whale-Watching Tour from Reykjavik

Embark on an unforgettable four-hour puffin and whale-watching tour from Reykjavik's Old Harbor. Travelers who want to admire some of the animal life Iceland offers on two boat tours combined into a single, straightforward booking will love this experience.

The adventure begins at the meeting point, the Old Harbor in central Reykjavik. You should arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time to meet the crew and check in with the team.

Your chosen start time will determine which boat tour you enjoy first, the puffin or whale tour. Morning departures start with a whale-watching excursion, while lunchtime departures begin with puffins.

The whale-watching tour lasts about two hours. You'll head out from the harbor and into the spectacular Faxafloi Bay, renowned for its diverse marine life.

The waters around Iceland are home to several species of whale. You could see minke whales, humpback whales, porpoises, and dolphins while at sea. Occasionally, orcas swim in the bay, too, so you could be lucky enough to spot one.

As you sail, you'll enjoy stunning views of Iceland's rugged coastline. Snap photographs of the mountains and watch out for the beautiful birds that fly above the bay.

Your guide will give you warm overalls to help you stay warm, and the boat has free Wi-Fi, so you can instantly post whale photos to your social media accounts. The boat also has a bar onboard, where you can buy refreshments.

After about two hours on the boat, you'll return to Reykjavik in time for the next boat tour. You should have about 15 minutes to board the next boat, but you can join a later tour if you miss it.

The puffin-watching boat trip takes place in a smaller boat with a shallow draught, which makes it perfect for approaching the islands where the puffins reside during the breeding season.

You'll be captivated by the sight of these colorful birds as they fly, dive into the water, and interact with one another on the cliffs.

Binoculars are available on the boat to help you get a better look at the adorable birds. You'll have plenty of photo opportunities, so bring your camera to snap some pictures.

After roughly two hours, you'll return to Reykjavik Harbor with a camera full of photos and some incredible memories to last a lifetime.
