Description

This premium small-group adventure reaches the wildlife areas quickly and keeps every guest close to the action. The custom RIB offers an open, unobstructed view as the guide searches for whales, dolphins, porpoises and seabirds across Faxaflói Bay.

From late April to mid-August, the route may include a puffin island where thousands of colourful seabirds gather during the nesting season. Harpa, the Sun Voyager and the Reykjavík shoreline create a memorable city panorama on the return.

Warm flotation gear, gloves and goggles are provided. The experience is designed for active travellers aged 10 and over who meet the current height and weight requirements.
