Whale Watching Luxury Yacht Cruise in Reykjavík

Your tour begins at the Old Harbor office at Ægisgarður 2, 101 Reykjavík

Arrive at the harbor sales office 30 minutes before departure and check in with ease. Then step outside, breathe in the sea air, and size up Reykjavík’s waterfront and Mount Esja before you board.

Board your yatch at Reykjavík’s Old Harbour

Settle into the yacht’s viewing areas, choosing your ideal spot for the search ahead. Listen in as the crew walks you through the safety procedures and points you toward the best angles once you leave the harbor.

Glide into Faxaflói Bay along Reykjavík’s scenic coastline

Slip past the dock and watch the shoreline peel away as open water takes over. Stay alert as you pass islands and coastal scenery, with the city behind you and wildlife territory ahead.

Track whales, dolphins, and porpoises with expert guides

Scan the surface for a sudden blow, a rolling back, or a fin slicing through the bay. Follow your guides’ calls as you look for minke and humpback whales, plus dolphins and porpoises, with occasional orca sightings possible.

Shift decks and chase the best views

Move between panoramic decks to keep pace with the sightings and sharpen your photo angles. Duck into shelter when the wind bites, then step back out when the water starts to stir again.
