What to expect?
During the tour, we will take you out to get up close and personal with the magnificent whales of Faxaflói Bay. Our 12-meter-long boat allows us to get very close to the animals in a way that's extra safe for both our passengers and the whales.On the way out to the whale watching area, we stop by the puffin island - Akurey to catch a glimpse of these adorable seabirds that live around the coast of Iceland during their nesting season.
When we head out into the bay it's a fast, thrilling ride with the wind in our hair. We have a comfortable cruising speed of 32 knots so we have plenty of time out in the whales' feeding grounds.
On the way back to the harbour we take a scenic route along the coast of Reykjavík, a perfect photo opportunity! Before or after your tour we recommend that you stop by the whales of Iceland exhibition in the harbour area as the admission is included with the Rib Express Tour.
We kindly ask you to check-in at least 30 min prior to departure for a security briefing and suit fitting. Everyone that arrives later than 15 min prior to departure can not be guaranteed to join the tour and Special Tours reserves the right to forfeit any refunds. In case of no sightings on the Rib Express Tour, we offer you to join the Whale Watching Classic or the Whale Watching Express Tour.
