The waters around Reykjavik are not only home to whales but also host a variety of other marine life. Keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins, graceful porpoises, and various seabirds, including puffins, gannets, and guillemots, which often accompany the boat on its journey.

During the tour, you'll have the opportunity to learn about the different whale species that inhabit Icelandic waters. The region is frequented by minke whales, known for their curiosity towards boats, and the majestic humpback whales, famous for their spectacular breaches. Each whale encounter is different, offering a glimpse into the lives of these incredible creatures.
