Description:

The oceans surrounding Iceland are home to a thriving population of whales, dolphins, puffins, and other seabirds. Enjoy a thrilling and safe ride all the way to Faxaflói Bay on a 12-person speedboat, and admire whales and puffins in their natural environment.

An eco-attentive RIB speedboat takes you on a journey north of Reykjavik, where other cruises cannot venture during the limited duration of an excursion for a genuinely exhilarating experience of a summer holiday. See a lively puffin colony on the islands of the bay as you leave the Old Harbor of Reykjavik, and then head to Faxaflói to get close to the dolphins and whales.

On your ride through the bay, you are likely to come across white-beaked dolphins or humpback and minke whales as your experienced captain navigates the waves. On the way back to the city, pass by colorful fishing huts along the shore and enjoy a quick stop at the Sun Voyager sculpture and the strikingly modern Harpa Concert Hall.

Once you're back on land, take advantage of complimentary entry to the Whales of Iceland Museum, the world's largest whale museum, and marvel at more than 20 life-size replicas of species like the orca, beluga, and humpback whale.
