Celebrate New Year's Eve in true Icelandic style with a magical cruise on Faxaflói Bay, where Reykjavík’s skyline comes alive with one of the most spectacular unofficial fireworks displays in the world. Departing at 22:30 from the Old Harbour, this 2-hour celebration at sea offers stunning views of the city’s fiery festivities, with over 200,000 people setting off nearly 500 tonnes of fireworks. Onboard, you’ll be greeted with a welcome drink and can enjoy the show from the open deck in warm overalls or from the comfort of a heated indoor saloon. With music, party hats, snacks, and festive cheer, the countdown to midnight becomes an unforgettable moment, and if you're lucky, the Northern Lights might make a surprise appearance too.
As midnight strikes, raise your glass in a shared toast to the New Year and take in the full panorama of lights before cruising gently back to port. The rest of the night is yours to enjoy downtown Reykjavík. This special event, available only on December 31st, is subject to sea and weather conditions. Please note the minimum drinking age is 20, and underage guests must be accompanied by an adult.

I really enjoyed this tour! Even though it was a classic package, I could see the whales up close. The guide was very informative and kept explaining along the way, which made the experience both exciting and educational. Highly recommend!
We had a nice and pleasant tour on a friday evening in August. We have not seen that many whale fish etc, but the crew was really excietet to show us these animals and they did everythig they could do. Finally we saw some whales. for a moment, which was absolutely okay for us. The crew insisted to give us a voucher for another trip, for free, which we think is very fair or even more than fair. Very recommendable company, would go there next time again. Thanks a lot.
What an amazing experience, we booked a Whale watching experience at short notice, following our original provider cancelling and gave the cancellation reason - bad weather, which did not seem to be the case, since Elding were providing a Whale Watching experience and the weather was acceptable. A very professional service was provided and we an amazing experience and had the opportunity to see Humpback & Minke Whales and White Beaked Dolphins, what an amazing experience and definitely definitely recommend. An experience not to be missed.
We had the opportunity to experience whale watching on Elding Whale Watching boat tour. The trip was fantastic. The tour guide narrated the sitings and gave background information on the type of whales and was excited and enthsiatic. I would highly recommend them. I had a great time and I know my group of fellow travelers agreed. We saw so many whales it was amazing. Thank you so much. The best whale watching tour I have even been on.
Awesome experience. We had a family of five, and I was a touch concerned about "not seeing land", but we were not that far off the coast. We all sorts of whales, dolphins, sea puffins, etc! It was a great trip, and our guide was really knowledgeable. I was able to ask her a bunch of questions, and learn a lot about whales that I never knew! Our photos were great, and she sent us her photos as well. I'd highly recommend if you're spending time in Reykjavik!
