One of the top tours to do when in Reykjavik is a Whale Watching Tour. These are available all year round however during the months of June to August, you will see more at this time than any other time and they are not afraid to surface and put on a display right beside the boat you are in. The type of mammals to see are minke whales, humpbacks, porpoises and white-beaked dolphins.
However, an article on Reykjavik is not complete without talking about the wonderful people of this city and country. There is no end to their friendliness and welcome. It is very easy to relax and mingle with the locals which bring us nicely to the excellent evening entertainment which all can enjoy. Great restaurants and a wide range of bars and clubs cater for everyone's needs.
Reykjavik is a city that can be visited at any time of the year as there are different experiences to be had during peak and off peak seasons. Having said that the most popular time is from June to August when there are balmy temperatures and 21 hours of sunlight. It is something else to experience a ‘midnight sun’. The cheaper time is December to February when there are only 4 or 5 hours of daylight but still great adventures to be had.
Reykjavik and Iceland have had a reputation in the past for bringing very expensive. This is still true but not as expensive as before and nowadays, with a little research, you can find very reasonable prices for meals, accommodation and custom tours. On average it is possible to get a breakfast for US$7, a lunch for US11 and an evening meal for US$25 per person. When it comes to alcohol, look out for happy hour for great value for money.
To find the best prices you need to research and book well in advance of the time you want to travel. You should also book any sightseeing or guided tours in advance too as some of the attractions get very busy in peak season. This is one country where it is a pleasure to drink the tap water and more importantly very safe. While the majority of hospitality providers have light blocking shades, bring an eye mask as there is little darkness at night.
