Overview

Spot whales and see the worlds greatest light show on this unforgettable Iceland Super Saver from Reykjavik. Choose which days and in what order you wish to take the tours, then wrap up in the protection of provided coveralls and prepare to be amazed. Setting out in search of the Northern Lights on a cruise, watch the night sky for signs of the mesmerizing natural wonder and hear the legends that surround it. Then, on the whale-watching tour, set off through Faxafli Bay and get up close to minke whales, humpbacks and more.

Itinerary:


Whale Watching: Join a 3-3.5 hour whale watching tour from Reykjavík's Old Harbour. Your expert guide will tell you all about the surrounding area and marine wildlife that you may encounter. The four most common species that we encounter are minke whales, humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises. Northern Lights by Boat: The beautiful northern lights are visible in Iceland from September to mid-April. Join this boat tour to sail out into Faxaflói Bay to search for the auroras with an experienced guide and crew. This is a hunt for the Northern Lights, and the sightings can never be guaranteed - but after years of experience and with a little luck we try our very best to give our passengers get the best possible chance and we put great effort into making the on board experience unique and memorable! The night sky and is beautiful as well as seeing the city lights from sea. Please note that these are 2 tours and you can choose to do them on the same day or split them between days.

    We were very excited to see the humpback whales during our April 15, 2023 excursion. In addition to the excitement of seeing the whales, we also learned a lot about them. Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable and personable. The overalls available on board were just what we needed. We also went to try to see the Northern Lights on April 11, but were unsuccessful. We still had an enjoyable time, as there were beautiful views of the lights of Reykjavik from the boat. I was pleased to find out that I can go on another Northern Lights tour free of charge the next time I visit Iceland. (We had the opportunity to try again on another night during our trip, but we had other plans and thus were not able to try again during our April visit to Iceland.)

    Whales everywhere an amazing day, Northern lights didn't make an appearance due to weather but the boat trip and crew and the free lights trip anytime again. Excellent.

    Amazing experience thanks to the BEST guide Iris. Thank you! 5/5. Super friendly, flawless crew. Made the stay so much more worth it.

    If you want to have a fantastic time watching whales make sure Iga is your guide. She’s got mad whale watching spotting skillZ (yes with a capital Z). The whales must really like her because we saw 3 humpbacks all playing around near the boat. I think they must have been watching us… Thanks for an amazing and unforgettable experience!!

    We were booked on this two-part trip. Unfortunately we received a call in the morning to say that the whale-watching trip on that day was cancelled due to weather, but it was re-booked for another day. The Northern Lights trip did go ahead and the trip was as good as we could have expected in the circumstances. The boat was large with all the facilities you would expect, plus warm body-suits were available to allow us to stay on deck if desired without getting frozen. We did get to see the lights, although it was only for the last 30 minutes of the trip and they were fairly underwhelming in all honesty. Obviously that’s not the fault of the tour company, but it did mean we needed to book additional trips on subsequent nights to try and see a better show, as having technically seen the lights on our booked trip, we couldn’t take advantage of the offer of additional free trips should the lights not appear. The postponed whale watching trip was also cancelled due to weather, but when requested, we did received a partial refund on the tour cost, as we were unable to do the whale-watching before the end of our trip.

    Theses were 2 different trips on the same day. The whale watching was great - we saw porpoise and dolphins and followed them around the bay. The Northern Lights was led by a guy who was very boring, had little information and we felt although we saw the Northern Lights - it was a poor experience
