From Reykjavik: Whale Watching & Northern Lights Tour at Sea

We sail out for whale watching all winter long, and the tour takes about 3 hours, departing from the old harbour in Reykjavik. You will see the city from the seaside, perfect for photography and the surrounding areas. The mountains are beautiful. In the right weather conditions, you can see Snæfells-glacier in the west of Iceland.It takes us about 30-45 minutes to reach the whale watching grounds. On the way, your guide on board will tell you about the history of the area, facts, stories, and answer any questions you might have. At the whale watching grounds, you will learn more about the whales and participate in spotting them. It happens that the whales appear very close to the boat with typical specimens, including Minke Whales, White-Beaked Dolphins, Harbour Porpoises, and the magnificent Humpback Whale.In the winter months, and even as early as September, the most magical displays of auroras will often appear in the skies of Iceland. We will take you out on the sea, just outside Reykjavik city, away from the city lights so that you can enjoy every moment of it.Hunting for the Northern Lights always has an element of luck to it, and we can never guarantee sightings. However, with years of experience and our committed effort, we will be able to maximize your chances. Our great effort on board will make it a unique, memorable experience, nevertheless.Get mesmerized by the beautiful night sky and enjoy the remarkable perspective of the city lights from the sea. You can move around inside and outside on the boat. Therefore, we offer our passengers warm overalls for the tour, which has proven to be very popular and quite necessary in the winter months. The bar on board is always open and provides you with additional means of keeping warm.Please note: all our tours are weather dependent and subject to cancellations. We advise you to give us a call on the day to check the tour status. We can never guarantee sightings as we are working with nature, but we provide a service to sail out and search for the natural wonders, the whales, or Northern Lights. However, If you don't spot anything on your tours, we will allow you to join us again, if possible.
