  Whale Watching Tour

  The sea by Reykjavík is rich in plankton and krill making it the ideal feeding ground and home for numerous species such as minke whales, humbacks, orcas, dolphins and seals. Our specially designed vessels offer multiple outdoor viewing decks as well as a cosy-indoor seating area with cafe. Whale watching is all about patience and you won´t mind spending time outside outfitted in our warm coveralls. Admire the mountains and coastline around the capital area.

  Our eagle-eyed guides are on the lookout for breaching flukes and will direct your gaze if and when a whale is spotted. Other indicators of nearby whales include splashes, a blow from the whales, dorsal fins or fevered flocks of feeding birds.

  We have a 97% success rate in summer months, but if you are unlucky you can join us on another day free of charge for a second bite of the cherry.

  Puffin Watching Tour

  For your puffin watching adventure, we don´t need to venture anywhere near so far out to sea and therefore this tour takes only 1 hour. Climb aboard our small boat Old Skúli and let´s explore the tiny islands of Lunday and Akurey, within sight of the harbor. Puffins arrive in Iceland in May and nest in colonies on islands like these for the rest of the summer. In August, once the pufflings are strong enough, they depart these isles for the open seas of the North Atlantic.

  Our guides have passion to spare and will tell you all you need to know about the habits of these wonderful birds. Other species who call these islands their temporary homes include Gulls, Arctic Terns, Black Guillemots. But puffins are of course the star attraction so join us and witness these iconic symbols of Iceland in their natural environment.
