Running from April to October, the tour is led by a certified RIB captain and an expert crew dedicated to ensuring a safe and thrilling journey.
Custom made boats
The custom-engineered RIB boats are built for speed and stability, allowing you to get closer to whales, dolphins, and puffins than larger vessels. This unique advantage also means you can cover more area, significantly increasing the chances of spotting marine wildlife. On the return journey, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Reykjavík’s coastline, including iconic landmarks like the Sun Voyager sculpture and the Harpa Concert Hall.
