This exclusive small-group tour is perfect for nature lovers eager to witness Iceland’s incredible marine life, including majestic whales, playful dolphins, and curious porpoises—all while sailing in comfort and style.
Departing from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour, your journey will take you through Faxaflói Bay, past charming islands, and along Reykjavík’s scenic coastline, offering breathtaking views of the city as you search for wildlife.
The most commonly spotted species include minke and humpback whales, dolphins, and porpoises, with the occasional sighting of orcas (killer whales) and other rare marine creatures. The experienced and passionate crew onboard are experts at locating these magnificent animals, ensuring you have the best possible chance to witness them up close.

What to bring
It’s a good idea to dress in warm, layered clothing, as it can get chilly out on the water, even in summer. Bring a waterproof jacket and sturdy shoes to stay comfortable on the yacht’s decks. Don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen, and a camera or smartphone to capture the incredible marine life and scenic views.
