Imagine a full size whale right next to you? Well you have 23 man-made life size models at the Whales of Iceland Exhibition in the harbour area. The exhibition is full of sounds, visual treats and interactive technology – a must-do when in Reykjavik!

At the spectacular Whales of Iceland Exhibition in Reykjavik you will learn everything you need to know about every whale that has been found in Icelandic waters throughout history.

With 25 lifesize whale models, interactive experiences and underwater footage you are in for a BIG and unique experience.

Walking through this wonder world with soothing whale sounds, ambient underwater lighting and beach-like floors truly makes you feel like you are deep under water exploring these gentle giants of the ocean.
