Reykjavik Departure: Páxafói Bay Whale & Dolphin Watching Cruise

Depart from Reykjavik Harbor and embark on a journey to find whales in Páxafói Bay.

This approximately 3-hour cruise departs from Reykjavik Harbor, taking you out to Páxafói Bay to experience Iceland's rich marine ecosystem. In the waters near Reykjavik, you have the chance to observe various whale species and marine animals year-round, including humpback whales, harbor porpoises, and white-beaked dolphins.

While the peak whale watching season is from April to October, the ocean is home to diverse life regardless of the season, and the animals you might encounter depend on the day's conditions. The tour duration can vary from 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on how far the whales are.

Observe whales and marine life with expert guides.

Our whale watching tours are accompanied by professional guides trained to spot marine animals. They will scan the sea for wildlife and provide explanations in English about the animals' behavior and the ecosystem of this bay. Feel free to ask them any questions you may have.

Enjoy the experience comfortably, moving between heated cabins and outdoor seating.

The boat is equipped with both indoor and outdoor seating areas. You can enjoy the sea and the Icelandic coastal scenery from outside, and then warm up in the heated indoor cabin when the temperature drops. Restrooms and free Wi-Fi are also available, allowing you to share your journey on social media instantly.

Drinks and snacks are available for separate purchase at the onboard bar and cafeteria. The boat offers a relatively comfortable ride even at high speeds, and you will return to the meeting point after the cruise concludes.

※ Whale and marine life sightings are not guaranteed as they inhabit the wild.
※ While refunds are not provided if no whales are spotted, you will receive a complimentary ticket for a future tour (valid for up to 3 years, subject to seat availability).
