Au départ ou au retour du port, profitez d'une vue sur Harpa, l'emblématique salle de concert en verre de Reykjavik. Sa façade chatoyante reflète la lumière de la baie, ce qui en fait l’un des monuments les plus photographiés d’Islande.
Naviguez vers Akurey Island, connue pour ses colonies animées de macareux moines. Depuis le bateau, vous aurez d’excellentes vues sur les macareux moines dans leur habitat naturel, perchés sur des falaises ou planant au-dessus des vagues. Les jumelles sont fournies pour un regard encore plus attentif.
Par temps clair, admirez une vue imprenable sur le mont Esja qui s’élève derrière Reykjavík et, au loin, sur la péninsule de Snæfellsnes – souvent appelée « Islande en miniature » pour ses paysages variés et ses sommets volcaniques.
Après quelques heures en mer, la visite se termine au Vieux Port de Reykjavik. Réchauffez-vous avec une salopette gratuite et savourez une boisson chaude à bord en réfléchissant à votre expérience inoubliable d'observation des baleines.

Friendly crew. Saw humpback breach and Minsk whales. Also puffin colony. Highly recommend this tour.
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
Grazie mille per la splendida recensione! Siamo felicissimi di sapere che avete vissuto un’esperienza così incredibile. È fantastico che abbiate potuto ammirare così tanti delfini mentre giocavano insieme alle balene – momenti come questi sono davvero unici e indimenticabili. Un grazie speciale anche per le vostre parole sul nostro capitano e sulla guida: la loro passione e conoscenza del mare rendono ogni uscita ancora più speciale, e siamo lieti che abbiano contribuito a rendere la vostra giornata così memorabile. Speriamo di darvi il benvenuto di nuovo a bordo in futuro per un’altra avventura straordinaria! Best regards, Reykjavik Sailors
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
