Our dedicated whale watching network boasts an impressive 90% success rate in sightings, making our tours a must for wildlife enthusiasts. We specialize in observing the majestic Minke Whales, awe-inspiring Humpback Whales, the powerful Orca Killer Whales, along with a variety of marine life including porpoises and dolphins. Our primary vessel for these adventures is the Sailor, but on occasions where the group is smaller than 12, we opt for a cozier yacht, aligning with our eco-friendly practices.

It's important to remember that as we venture into the natural habitat of these magnificent creatures, their appearance is beyond our control. While sightings are highly likely, we are unable to promise them or offer refunds should our aquatic friends be elusive. However, in such rare instances, we extend a complimentary ticket for another tour, ensuring you another chance to witness these wonders of the sea.

For those seeking a more personalized experience, we also provide private yacht rentals in Reykjavík. Perfect for everything from intimate romantic ventures to grand celebrations with friends under the evening sky, we cater to all your exclusive sailing needs.

If a private tour sparks your interest, we're just a message away from planning your ideal marine escapade.
