Professional guides will lead you to the best whale-watching spots near Reykjavik. These experts will share fascinating insights about the whales and other marine life you encounter. 

The guides will help you spot the most common species in these waters, including minke and humpback whales, dolphins, and porpoises. You might also see orcas (killer whales) with some luck.

As you set sail, you'll pass the Reykjavik harbor and get an excellent view of the Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre. It's an architectural marvel with its shimmering glass facade inspired by Iceland's basalt landscape. 

The journey then takes you further into the waters of Faxafloi bay, where the ocean's vastness meets the sky.

Your tour will take you past several notable islands. Engey, the second largest island in Kollafjordur bay, is known for its rich birdlife and lush vegetation. You might spot seabirds nesting along its shores. 

Lundey Island, often called Puffin island, is another highlight. As the name suggests, it's a nesting ground for puffins during summer.

The thrill of spotting whales and other marine life in their natural habitat is unparalleled. Watching a humpback whale breach the surface or seeing a pod of dolphins playfully swimming alongside the boat creates memories that last a lifetime.
