Description

The wildlife sailing explores the open bay for minke and humpback whales, dolphins, porpoises and seabirds, with Reykjavik and the surrounding mountains creating a beautiful coastal panorama.

The evening voyage turns towards Viðey Island and the Imagine Peace Tower, Yoko Ono’s luminous memorial to John Lennon. As darkness gathers, a powerful column of light rises from the island and gives the sea an atmospheric glow.

This seasonal combination brings together nature, art and Reykjavik history in one flexible booking. Warm overalls and excellent guidance make both time on deck and the stories behind the sights easy to enjoy.
