Whales & Puffins Tour from Reykjavik

Board the customer made RIB boat for a seabound adventure to get closer to the whales and puffins than you could have ever imagined!

This whale watching tour takes you sailing from Reykjavík out to Faxaflói bay which is home of variety of whales, dolphins and other marine life including sea birds like the Puffin, Arctic tern, Gannet and gulls.

The islands off the coast of Reykjavik are teeming with bird life, including the colourful Puffin, cormorants, and various types of gulls which makes it the perfect area to start the adventure.

RIB boats can cover more area in search for whales and wildlife than traditional boats which increases your chances of spotting these incredible creatures. The most common sightings include dolphins, humpback whales and killer whales.

At the end, you will be taken along Reykjavik's coast line for the opportunity to get some great photos of Reykjavik!

Please note: The Puffin migration season in Reykjavik is generally between early May and the middle of August. This tour will exclusively feature whale watching when the Puffin population is not in season.
