Winter walvissen spotten en Northern Lights Cruise vanuit Reykjavik
Beschrijving
Deze prachtige combitour combineert enkele van de populairste winterattracties in IJsland! U begint de dag met een 3 uur durende walvissafari om 09:00/13:00 uur met vertrek vanuit de oude haven in Reykjavík. De meest voorkomende soorten die in de winter in de Faxaflói-baai worden gezien, zijn dwergvinvissen, dolfijnen, bruinvissen en bultruggen. De uitzichten en het landschap aan de horizon mag u niet missen, want ze zijn verbluffend in de wintergloed! Tussen de twee activiteiten door heeft u enkele uren vrije tijd in de stad. We raden u aan de charmante oude haven en de Grandi-gebieden te verkennen, vol met gezellige restaurants en kleine winkeltjes. De 2 uur durende magische avondcruise vertrekt om 21:00/22:00 uur (afhankelijk van het seizoen) en brengt u naar het zuidelijke deel van de Faxaflói-baai, iets verder weg van de stad. Het is een prachtige ervaring om de open baai onder de uitgestrekte sterrenhemel te verkennen. En het noorderlicht mag u absoluut niet missen tijdens uw reis naar IJsland!

Only saw a Minky whale for a second or two a few times then the ship basically turned around because of rough waters and we didn’t get to see anything else
My experience was even better than I imagined it would be. Haven’t seen so many dolphins in a small area and the bonus was seeing the humpback whale and it taking a dive
We got to see Banana, the humpback whale, and his companion feeding throughout the harbor. The creatures are so majestic! There is a cabin to get warm if you come in November like we did. Overalls are also provided if you wish for when you are outside whale watching and taking pictures. Everything was clean and well organized. The only rude people you have to deal with are other tourists. The boat crew is very kind. Overall wonderful experience and would do it again.
Booking through trip advisor was effortless. The boat was perfect size. Toilets. Cafe. Heated inside and lots of outside decking. Free warm waterproofs although not needed. Interesting commentary. And even saw a couple of whales!
This tour comes in two parts - a morning whale-watching cruise and an evening Northern Lights viewing. The ship is comfortable with an inside lounge and ample viewing area outside. They provided warm coveralls for us to wear over our clothes. We were fortunate to have a clear evening with a very active display of lights. It was a wonderful experience.
Amazing experience to see the whales breaching and do fluke dives 🐋🌊 The crew are so knowledgeable and helpful 👌🏼 The northern lights got rescheduled which we so happy about as got to see them so amazingly 🤩
Dear Nelly_M, Thank you for your review! Seeing whales breach and perform fluke dives is always a breathtaking experience, and we’re so happy you got to witness it. We appreciate your kind words about our knowledgeable and helpful crew. It’s also great to hear that you were able to see the northern lights after your tour was rescheduled. We’re delighted you had such an amazing experience and truly appreciate your recommendation! All the best, The Elding team
Very cool experience, got to watch humpback whales feeding. We didn’t catch the Aurora this time around but if you don’t see it they give you a voucher gift next time!
Dear Orion_M, We’re so glad you had a great time whale watching and got to see humpback whales feeding - it’s always a spectacular sight! Sorry to hear that the aurora didn’t appear this time, but we’re happy you were able to take advantage of our return voucher for another chance to see them. We appreciate your review and hope to welcome you back soon! All the best, The Elding team
Disappointingly cancelled. We booked a two part trip - whale watching in the day this was cancelled in during the day before the booking due to the weather. The second part - northern lights wasn’t cancelled at the same time so didn’t give us the ability to try and find something else to do. Ultimately both parts were cancelled - due to the weather and potential danger being out on a boat. Fully understand the reasonings why it was cancelled but very disappointed as we couldn’t rearrange as we went home the following day - the storm completely knackered our holiday, cost us a fortune and we spent more time watching Netflix in our room than enjoying the country
Dear Lisa B, We completely understand your disappointment, and we’re truly sorry that the weather had such an impact on your trip. Cancelling tours is never something we take lightly, but safety always comes first, and the storm conditions made it impossible to operate. We do our best to provide updates as early as possible, but in cases like yours, when different tours have different assessments, we understand how frustrating the uncertainty can be. It’s especially unfortunate that you weren’t able to reschedule before heading home. We appreciate your understanding despite the situation and hope you’ll have another chance to visit Iceland under better conditions. All the best, The Elding team
We set off on 3hr whale watching trip and we managed to spot a whale not far from the harbour. We spent about an hour watching the whale dive and surface and it was fantastic to experience the sighting in the whale’s nature environment. unfortunately the northern lights evening excursion was cancelled due to bad weather. Highly recommend this operator for a whale watching excursion ❤️
Dear David_D, We appreciate your review! Watching a whale so close to the harbour must have been an incredible experience, and we’re happy to hear you enjoyed it. We’re sorry the Northern Lights tour had to be cancelled due to the weather, but we truly appreciate your recommendation. All the best, The Elding team
What I can say absolutely amazing trip humpback whales seen for and about an hour plus seals and birds . Then the northern lights came out as soon as we set off the staff were brilliant on both trips . Highly Recommend 🐋🇮🇸
Dear Wendy R, Thank you for the kind review of our Whale & Northern Lights COMBO tour - and for sharing the amazing photos! We are glad you had a wonderful time with our team and got to experience Icelandic nature in all its glory! All the best, The Elding team
