Reykjavík Classic Whale Watching
Feel free to contact us
Description
This classic cruise is an inviting choice for families, first-time whale watchers and anyone who wants space to move between broad outdoor decks and a warm indoor saloon. The crew follows recent activity and ocean conditions to select the strongest route.
Minke whales, humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises are among the regular visitors to the bay, while gannets, guillemots and other seabirds animate the surrounding water. Every trip is different because the wildlife is completely wild.
Warm overalls, Wi-Fi, informative displays and an onboard café make the journey comfortable in every season, leaving you free to enjoy the anticipation and those unforgettable moments when a whale breaks the surface.
