Genießen Sie bei Ihrer Abfahrt oder Rückkehr zum Hafen den Blick auf Harpa, Reykjavíks legendäre Glaskonzerthalle. Seine schimmernde Fassade reflektiert das Licht der Bucht und macht sie zu einem der meistfotografierten Wahrzeichen Islands.
Segeln Sie zur Insel Akurey, die für ihre lebhaften Papageitauchkolonien bekannt ist. Vom Boot aus haben Sie einen ausgezeichneten Blick auf Papageien in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum – auf Klippen oder über den Wellen gleitend. Für einen noch genaueren Blick ist ein Fernglas vorgesehen.
Bewundern Sie an klaren Tagen atemberaubende Ausblicke auf den Berg Esja, der sich hinter Reykjavík erhebt, und in der Ferne auf die Halbinsel Snæfellsnes – wegen ihrer vielfältigen Landschaften und Vulkangipfel oft „Island in Miniatur“ genannt.
Nach einigen Stunden auf See endet die Tour wieder am Alten Hafen von Reykjavík. Wärmen Sie sich mit kostenlosen Overalls auf und genießen Sie ein heißes Getränk an Bord, während Sie über Ihr unvergessliches Walbeobachtungserlebnis nachdenken.

This was a great trip. We saw four whales and some dolphins. It was beautiful weather too. We lucked out. No puffins but we didn't expect to see them on this kind of big boat anyway. We saw the whales bubble netting and overall there was a lot of action. I usually get sea sick but I took two bonine. It was rough and rocky but much less so than in Monterey california. I recommend this trip highly. Its a nice boat with food and comfortable areas. I never went inside at all and sat on the top deck becasuse there was constant action.
Hello, We're delighted to hear that you had such an incredible trip. Seeing four whales, dolphins, and even witnessing bubble-net feeding is truly a special experience and one that many wildlife enthusiasts dream of seeing. It's wonderful that the weather cooperated and that there was so much activity throughout the tour. We're also pleased to hear that you found the boat comfortable and enjoyed the onboard facilities, even though the wildlife kept you happily occupied on the top deck the whole time! Thank you for sharing your seasickness tips with future travellers as well. Sea conditions can vary, but we're glad you were able to enjoy the excursion comfortably. Best regards, Reykjavik Sailors

Incredible experience...thanks to the captain's vast knowledge of the sea and the splendid explanations from the guide. We admired so many dolphins playing with the whales...an unforgettable day

Highly recommend. If you want to experience the local wildlife, the puffins are adorable and seeing whales is so majectic, just a magical day out on the ocean. Also, your ticket gets you a discount at many places around the old harbour so eating or more sightseeing.

Two tours, great guides, awesome Icelandic Ocean Adventure. Kids were super excited to see whales in the open water, and they weren't disappointed. Saw one whale about 15 meters away as she emerged for air before diving with a splashy tail. Second tour with Joe was equally awesome with an up close and personal visit to a community of Puffins. Kids loved the binoculars and thought they were super cute. Both tours were informative, educational,guide were fantastic. Also got cheeky discount on whales of Iceland museum admission with our tour ticket and another discount at the cafe! Thank you all, we had a whale of a time 🐳🐋🐳
Hello, Thank you so much for your fantastic and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that both tours were such a highlight of your trip and that your kids had such an exciting time out on the water. Seeing whales up close – especially such a memorable sighting – is always incredible, and we’re glad the Puffin tour with Joe was just as enjoyable. It’s great to hear the binoculars added to the experience and that the puffins were a hit with the whole family! We truly appreciate your kind words about our guides and the educational aspect of the tours, as well as your mention of the added discounts—it's always nice to make the experience even more rewarding. Thank you again for joining us—it sounds like you really did have a “whale of a time”! 🐳 We hope to welcome you all back on board again in the future. Best regards, Reykjavik Sailors
Must do activity. Guides are well versed in the surrounding and have helpful information. Patrick does a great puffin behaviour show.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you found the tour a must-do experience. It’s great to know our guides’ knowledge and helpful insights made a difference, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Patrick—his puffin “behaviour show” is always a guest favourite! Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back on board for another memorable tour in the future! Best regards, Reykjavik Sailors
Bummer that the weather didn’t cooperate and the whales didn’t either. But the info Patrick shared along the way was interesting and funny. The Puffin tour was a success, got to see lots of the birds. Tour operator has binoculars for participants to use if the chose to do so. I wished they had a speaker for those of us sitting outside. Could not hear the guide or captain well enough.
HelloThank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that the weather and whale sightings didn’t fully meet expectations, but we’re glad you still enjoyed Patrick’s commentary and found it both interesting and entertaining. It’s great to hear the Puffin tour was a success and that you were able to see plenty of birds – that’s always a highlight! We also truly appreciate your comments regarding the outdoor audio. Your feedback is very valuable, and we’ll be sure to pass it along to our team as we’re always looking for ways to improve the experience for our guests. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back on board in the future. Best regards, Reykjavik Sailors
The whale watching boat was bigger, and it certainly rolls around in the sea when we are in a float pattern watching the whales, so consider that when you are joining. Smaller rib boats would be less that way. They do have dramamine tablets and ginger candy for free if you need them. Main thing...stay outside and look at land when traveling, and you should be fine. If you have young children, put a lofe jacket on them and please don't let them wander around alone. 🤦♀️ Puffin watching boat is much smaller and once again staff is fun! Great time!
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share such helpful feedback! We're glad you had a great time on both tours and appreciated the energy of our staff. You’ve shared some great advice for future guests — especially regarding seasickness and safety with young children. We're always happy to provide motion sickness support on board and do our best to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Best regards, Reykjavik Sailors
