You will experience the different whales around Iceland on this tour, both from land and at sea.
On this combo tour, admission to Whales of Iceland is included in your Whale Watching ticket. Before or after your boat tour, we recommend visiting the Whales of Iceland Exhibition on the other side of Reykjavik’s Old Harbour area. The Whales of Iceland Exhibition showcases 23 life-size whale models with a lot of in-depth information, interactive experiences, and underwater footage of whales shown on an 8-meter screen. Part of the exhibition focuses on conservation, where the multiple threats (and their solutions) that whales face today are showcased. The exhibition gives you a feeling of how small we are compared to the ocean wildlife.
On the Whale Watching tour, you will check-in at the Special Tours Ticket Office in Reykjavik’s Old Harbour before sailing out to Faxaflói Bay. There the search for the most common whales in the area begins. The whales that frequent the are humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises. We observe their behavior in the wild during the tour while learning more about them from one of the expert guides. The main goals are to introduce our passengers to the wildlife in the bay while providing unique experiences and personal services, all while ensuring that the environment is protected and respected in every way. If there are no sightings on our tours, you are entitled to a ticket to try again for free.
This is the perfect Whale watching combo tour, offering you a Big Experience of whales from both land and sea!
The thrill of going out to sea to see those gentle giants of the ocean is hard to compare, and not to mention all the cool points you will get for your stories from the trip! The Whales of Iceland museum is then just icing on the cake! This biggest whale museum in Europe has full-size replicas of the whales, which you can walk right up to and then learn about their habitat and biology. It is a sight to see!
