What to expect

White-beaked dolphins, humpback whales and harbour porpoises are just some of the mammals you're likely to spot frolicking in Iceland's waters during the winter months. And with this expert-led Reykjavík whale-watching tour, you're likely to learn a thing or two about these incredible creatures, too.

Your whale-watching trip departs from Reykjavík harbour, in the heart of the city. From here, you'll head out to sea, en route to Faxaflói Bay.

As you glide through the water, your expert captain and guide will tell you a bit more about the whales and birdlife common to this area. With luck, you'll get to spot Iceland's population of whales, dolphins and porpoises in their natural habitat. You'll spend a couple of hours at sea, giving you a good chance of an unforgettable animal encounter.

    Picked up by bus, taken to the boat. Given either long coats or overalls which were water and wind proof. Skipper took out and we saw humpback whales. A wonderful experience. We'll work the money.

    When we boarded there was a general scrimmage to find and get into the waterproof suits, with no member of staff to assist. This needs to be made more orderly. I enjoyed being able to stay inside and had great views. My husband enjoyed being able to be outside the whole time to photograph.
