Whales, Puffins and Reykjavik
Leaving from the Whale Safari ticket office by Reykjavik's Old Harbour, this whale watching tour takes you out on a fast, stable and safe, RIB boat to watch whales, dolphins, and sea birds of Faxaflói Bay.
The islands off the coast of Reykjavik are teaming with bird life, including the colourful Puffin, cormorants, and various types of gulls which makes it the perfect area to start the adventure.
From bird watching the incredibly fast RIB boats sets out to Faxaflói Bay in search of whales and dolphins.
