You start the day with a 3-5 hr. whale watching tour at 13:00 with departure
from the Old Harbour in Reykjavík. The most common species seen in Faxaflói
bay in winter are the Minke whales, dolphins, porpoises and Humpback whales -
although we sometimes also spot Orcas, Fin or even Sei whales. Check our
Whale diary for details on past sightings
and information about future tours. After exploring the wonderful seabirds and
marine life of the bay, you return to the harbour in time to shop, have dinner
or stroll the streets of Reykjavík.
The approx. 2 hr. magical evening cruise departs at 21:00 or 22:00, depending
on the season (see calendar for availability), taking you into Faxaflói bay.
Heading out into the open bay under the vast starry sky is a wonderful
experience not to be missed. Our success rate is quite high as we carefully
assess the weather and aurora forecasts at hand each and everyday to give you
the best chance of spotting the Auroras. Check our Northern Lights
diary for previous sightings and
details on upcoming tours.
Please note that if you select pickup for this combo, you will be collected at
your hotel or bus stop nearest to your hotel for the Whale Watching and only
returned after the Northern Lights Cruise.
For optimal viewing and your enjoyment the tours are weather dependent.
