Embark on a unique self-drive combo tour that combines the thrill of diving in the world-famous Silfra fissure with an exciting whale watching adventure in Faxaflói Bay. Start your day by driving approximately 45 km from Reykjavík to Þingvellir National Park, where you will dive into the crystal-clear glacial waters of Silfra. Known for its remarkable underwater visibility of over 100 meters, Silfra offers the rare opportunity to swim between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The diving experience, which lasts about 3 hours, includes a guided tour through Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral, and Silfra Lagoon. Participants must be certified dry suit divers or provide proof of recent dry suit diving experience, and must meet specific physical and health requirements.
After your unforgettable underwater experience, return to Reykjavík's Old Harbour to join a whale watching tour with Elding, starting at 15:00. Onboard, you’ll have the chance to see an array of marine life such as Minke whales, dolphins, porpoises, and even Humpback whales as you explore the rich ecosystem of Faxaflói Bay. The cruise lasts until approximately 18:00, after which a convenient shuttle will take you back to your hotel. To ensure comfort and safety, divers are required to bring their own thermal underwear, thick wool socks, and dress appropriately for the weather. This full-day adventure offers an exceptional blend of Iceland’s underwater wonders and its magnificent marine life—all in one unforgettable journey.

I have whale watched in California, Florida, North Carolina, and Alaska USA. They were all absolutely great, a whale watch is never a bad time, but Elding was PHENOMENAL. Every aspect, from booking to docking back was easy and smooth. If you don't see any cetaceans, or you only see one or two, they give you a voucher that is good for two years for you to come back. They then told the most charming story that I will not spoil. You'll have to book yourself and see. Do yourself a favor and buy a hot chocolate with cream.
Everyone was so nice, the crew was interactive knowledgeable and hilarious. We saw Humpbacks and Minke whales. They worked hard to ensure we got to see as much as they could find while still being respectful of the wildlife and their boundaries. But the best part is they send you free downloadable pictures of the animals you saw during your tour, so you don’t have to worry about not catching good pictures. Highly recommend.
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!
