Tour en barco de avistamiento de ballenas desde Reikiavik
Descripción
Recorrerá las aguas de Islandia a bordo de un barco rígido inflable de alta velocidad diseñado especialmente y disfrutará de cerca de ballenas, delfines, frailecillos y mucho más. El pequeño y potente barco no solo puede maniobrarse al salir al agua, sino que es capaz de alcanzar alta velocidad, lo que le permitirá cubrir un área mayor y acercarse más a la fauna y flora de Reikiavik de lo que lo haría en un barco clásico. Después de ver maravillas en aguas abiertas, disfrutará de vistas panorámicas para admirar la escultura Sun Voyager de Jón Gunnar Árnason y la sala de conciertos Harpa en la costa. Las excursiones se limitan a 12 personas por barco para garantizar una experiencia de grupos reducidos con un experto capitán y guía sobre la fauna y flora.

Itinerario
Este gran tour de avistamiento de ballenas comienza desde el Puerto Antiguo de Reykjavík y durante la temporada de frailecillos (principios de mayo hasta finales de agosto) también visitamos a los frailecillos en su hábitat natural. A continuación saldremos en busca de las ballenas. Hay muy pocas cosas que superen la experiencia de ver ballenas y delfines lo más cerca posible al nivel del mar desde nuestras lanchas RIB. En este divertido recorrido, los botes rápidos, estables y seguros también nos permiten cubrir más áreas mientras buscamos vida salvaje, aumentando así sus posibilidades de avistar ballenas, delfines y aves.
Durante la temporada de frailecillos (desde principios de mayo hasta finales de agosto) también visitamos a los frailecillos en su hábitat natural, en las islas de Akurey, Engey o Lundey, en las afueras de Reykjavík. El viaje hasta aquí es corto y pasamos entre 5 y 10 minutos con los frailecillos. Frailecillos, alcas, alcatraces y una increíble variedad de otras aves marinas dominan los cielos y los acantilados a sólo unos minutos navegando desde el Puerto Viejo. ¡Nuestras RIB son rápidas y pequeñas, por lo que te acercaremos más y más rápido a las islas!
A continuación saldremos en busca de ballenas en la bahía de Faxaflói. Hay muy pocas cosas que superen la experiencia de ver ballenas y delfines lo más cerca posible al nivel del mar desde nuestras lanchas RIB. Nuestros barcos de avistamiento de ballenas están equipados con asientos con suspensión de alto rendimiento. Estos asientos amortiguadores aumentan la seguridad y el confort y reducen el riesgo de lesiones. Para que pueda disfrutar de forma cómoda y segura de su aventura de avistamiento de ballenas en las aguas del Atlántico Norte.
Después del safari de ballenas, viajamos de regreso a Reykjavík, donde daremos un paseo por la costa de la ciudad y experimentaremos una vista panorámica única de Reykjavík desde el mar (perfecta para tomar fotografías). Nuestros barcos te llevarán más allá de la escultura Sun Voyager en el paseo marítimo.
Luego pasaremos por el lado del puerto del edificio más famoso de Islandia, la resplandeciente sala de conciertos Harpa.
Finalmente, después de una gran aventura en el mar, ¡volvemos al puerto! Esto es aproximadamente dos horas después de la hora de inicio del recorrido.

Finding the exact building was a little confusing, but other businesses helped me. There are flags, but they didn't have the name of the business I was looking for. Regardless, my experience was top notch. When you check in at the desk, they show you the hats, goggles, and gloves you can borrow - borrow them if you don't have your own! The briefing before you receive your suit is short and informative. The zip up waterproof suits are helpful protecting you from wind (and keep you dry from water sprays). I wore a sweater and jacket under my suit and was very comfortable. Others on the boat seemed chilled without those layers. Heading out to the sea was bumpy but our captain (Megan) did an excellent job navigating the large waves. It IS bumpy at times, so be prepared. We visited a tiny island not far from the harbor. Our guide, Maria, did a great job explaining what we saw (so many puffins and other birds). Then, we spent time searching for whales. The boat was small and everyone had a good view. The seats reminded me of riding a horse. They're comfortable and the holds (for hands and feet) make it easy to stay put when there are waves. There are other boats in the water and each boat searches for whales and provides information for other boats. None of the boats encroached on the whale's space. Everyone respected the animal's space while providing us a view of it. Pictures were shared so that everyone could have a copy of the pictures. I had my phone but wasn't able to capture good pictures. I appreciate having pictures of what I saw. I highly recommend this tour and would take it again if I return to Reykjavik.
I saw a lot on the tour. Whales, dolphins, and puffins. We were lucky that a whale jumped out of the water. However, I would secure the phone or camera with a strap, as the boat rocks a lot and you often have to lean far out to take photos. Since you sit behind one another, often the person in front is in the way. But it is worth it.
Incredible experience - Anna and Emily were wonderful guides. We saw a humpback breach multiple times and wave at us with his/her dorsal fin for a solid 5 minutes. Incredible. Highly recommend this outfit - safe, knowledgable, and you are sure to see some great sea life....AND free pictures after the adventure.
The tour was great!!! The guide was very informative, helpful, and was just as excited to see the whales and puffins as we were. It was kind of like going fishing. You are just waiting for the sea animals to do their thing and they didn’t disappoint. The puffins were the cutest.
The seats were comfortable for the experience, only 2 rows of seats so no issues being able to see, the captain and the guide were friendly and knowledgeable. The guide took her own pictures for us so you could enjoy seeing the whales and not worry about snapping photos
This tour was canceled due to weather so we had to switch to a larger vessel which was not as fun. Plus we all got very sea sick.
Very professional team Good organization, good guides Excellent experience Thank you for the time you provided us at 3m from the whale
I had a nice tour overall, though there weren’t as many whale sightings as I had hoped. I really enjoyed the RIB boat—it made the experience exciting. We did see dolphins, and we got fairly close to Puffin Island, although visibility from my side wasn’t great. Wildlife tours can be a bit of a dice roll in terms of what you’ll see, but the experience was still worthwhile. The staff and guides were professional, friendly, and informative throughout.
Super organized and very friendly! It was a great experience. We experienced dolphins right by the boat and even several whales in close proximity to the boat! A 100 percent recommendation!!!
We were accompanied by Eleftherios Manioudakis. He was very motivated and told us a lot about the animals we saw. We had an all-around good experience! Safety is prioritized, but fun is not lacking; you feel very comfortable. We would book again at any time. Besides whales, dolphins, and puffins, we also learned a lot about birds. Eleftherios even provided us with his pictures from the trip for free.
