WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. {
The ship sets sails from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour and during your journey, you’ll sail among the small islands in the Faxaflói Bay, as well as along the coast of Reykjavík, providing you with a fantastic view of the city as you search for the wildlife in the water. The most common sights are minke and humpback whales, dolphins, and porpoises. However, there is always a chance to spot a few orcas (also known as killer whales) as well as a wealth of other species. The professional team onboard is very experienced in spotting whales and is dedicated to making sure their passengers leave with a smile!
2. {
Harpa is a concert hall and conference centre in Reykjavík, Iceland. The opening concert was held on May 4, 2011. The building features a distinctive colored glass facade inspired by the basalt landscape of Iceland.
3. {
Faxafloi bay is situated on its southern shore. From Reykjavik it is possible to see the peninsula of Akranes in the northeast and even the Snæfellsjökull at a distance of about 120 km (75 mi). This bay has few islands and the ones it does have are close to land, in particular contrast to the bay directly north of it, Breiðafjörður, which has the most islands of any bay in Iceland.
4. {
Engey is the second largest island of the Kollafjörður (Faxa Bay) fjord in western Iceland.
5. {
Lundey, literally "Puffin Island" in Icelandic, is a small, uninhabited island off the western coast of Reykjavík, Iceland.
6. {
Viðey is the largest island of the Kollafjörður Bay in Iceland, near the capital of Reykjavík.

Best whale watching cruise to date. The VERY captain of the boat offered us drinks at the local coffee ship before boarding without ever saying who he was & was so humble. When we were on the boat & saw him again he simply "winked" at us ❤️ VERY safe & fun experience NOT to be missed 💯%

This tour was great! Everyone was very friendly and communicated very well where we needed to look for the whales. We saw a few! Not crowded at all, so that was nice. Plenty of places to stand (or sit) and watch. They offered blankets and tablets for motion sickness. Would recommend!

Not worth the money. The ship is outdated and was extremely packed. Was not the yacht experience I was expecting. Also, we didn’t see ANY animals except for one seal.
