Description

Big Whales and Puffins RIB boat tour is made for travellers who want Iceland's wildlife to feel close, real and memorable. The tour focuses on a faster RIB boat whale watching experience, combining close-to-the-water speed, open-air excitement and strong chances to spot marine wildlife with expert local crew and practical onboard guidance.

Whale sightings are natural and can never be guaranteed, but Iceland's coastal waters are among the best places in Europe to look for minke whales, humpback whales, dolphins, porpoises and seabirds. A guided boat tour gives you the right route, safety setup and local knowledge to make the most of the conditions on the day.

Choose this tour if you want a classic Iceland sea adventure, strong photo opportunities and a wildlife-focused experience that works well for couples, families and curious first-time visitors.
