The experience

About this tour

Experience the best Iceland has to offer with spectacular whale watching opportunities.

Our tours are a unique experience and we do our best to make this a lifetime experience for you.

All the year around you'll be able to see a variety of whales by the coast, from the Minke, Humpback, and Killer whales to White Beaked Dolphins and Harbour Porpoises. The high peak season for whale watching is from April to October, but of course, the ocean is always full of adventures. You can see all the other aquatic species, and all sorts of wildlife and at the same time enjoy the splendid scenery around the coast of Iceland.
