Private Whale Watching RIB Boat Trip in Kópavogur

About the Activity

What to Expect

Embark on the ultimate whale watching private RIB boat trip, tailored exclusively for you and your group. Departing from the charming Kópavogur harbour, your personalized journey begins as we head roughly 10 miles offshore, slicing through the waves. The exhilarating ride to the whale-watching grounds takes just 15-25 minutes, giving you time to savour the refreshing sea air and prepare for the extraordinary sights ahead.

Once we reach the heart of the open ocean, you will have a full 60 minutes to marvel at nature’s giants—majestic whales and playful dolphins—while capturing these unforgettable moments with your camera. Our crew, dedicated solely to your group, ensures an intimate, immersive experience with Iceland’s remarkable marine life. The excitement does not stop there. On the way back to shore, your private tour continues with a scenic cruise along the picturesque coastline of Skerjafjörður, venturing into the tranquil waters of Fossvogur.

With music setting the perfect backdrop, we make a special stop at the golden sands of Nauthólsvík beach. Here, you can relax, soak in the serene surroundings, and sample harðfiskur—Iceland’s signature dried fish snack—a wholesome, protein-rich treat that offers a taste of local tradition. As we conclude the tour, you will feel the full power of our RIB boat as we turn up the speed, transforming the ride into a thrilling rollercoaster on water.
