About the Activity

What to Expect

Join our small-group RIB boat trip and get closer than ever to Iceland's incredible marine life under the midnight sun. Departing from Reykjavík's scenic Old Harbour, this evening tour takes you on a journey through the breathtaking North Atlantic, with the enchanting glow of Icelandic summer nights. We’ll visit puffin nesting islands before heading into Faxaflói Bay to search for majestic whales.

Our high-speed RIB boats ensure safety and stability, maximizing your chances of spotting whales, puffins and dolphins. When conditions allow, we’ll pause to enjoy the serene ocean atmosphere under the vibrant evening sky.

After the whale safari, we’ll cruise along Reykjavík’s shoreline, offering stunning views of landmarks like the Sun Voyager and Harpa Concert Hall. Perfect for friends, families, or couples, this premium adventure blends wildlife encounters with Iceland’s remarkable seascapes.
