Express 2 Hour Whale Watching RIB Boat Tour on Faxafloi Bay with Transfer from Reykjavik

Hop aboard this thrilling 2-Hour RIB Express boat tour to experience whale watching as it should be done. This is a fantastic tour opportunity for guests to Iceland looking to see this island’s most amazing aquatic mammals up close, all the while avoiding the larger crowds so typical of larger whale watching vessels. 

Your tour will begin at by Reykjavík's old harbour where you will be provided with warm overalls, a flotation device (for added safety), a pair of goggles and gloves. This full kit is sure to keep you protected from the elements throughout your time on the water. Before stepping onto the boat, your friendly, experienced and professional guide will also present a safety briefing, ensuring that everyone is aware of protocol whilst on board. 

You will head out from the harbour on the 12-metre long vessel, Dagmar, the latest edition to the operator’s fleet, and the only one capable of providing a smoother, more comfortable ride than expected. This is down to the special shock-suspension seating, keeping guests content as they speed over the waves, ever on the look out for whales, porpoise or dolphins. 

The most common sightings on this tour are Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, Harbour Porpoise and White-Beaked dolphin, though there is always the chance to see one of the other 16 species that call Icelandic coastal waters their home, including Orcas and the mighty Blue Whale. 

Aside from the whales, you will also be privy to an abundance of birdlife, including such species as Arctic Tern, Guillemots and even the iconic Atlantic Puffin. During the summer months, during the Puffins’ breeding season, your boat captain will also make a stop at the island of Akurey where you can look upon thousands of these colourful critters nesting amid the rocks.
