Reykjavík Whales & Northern Lights

Experience Iceland’s Marine Wildlife and the Magical Northern Lights in One Unforgettable Day

Combine two of Iceland's most iconic experiences into a single, seamless day of adventure with this discounted package. Start your morning or afternoon at Reykjavík’s Old Harbour, where you will board a vessel for a three-hour whale watching expedition. Guided by an expert marine biologist, you will venture into the waters of Faxaflói Bay, a prime location for spotting diverse marine life, including majestic humpback whales, minke whales, harbour porpoises, and playful white-beaked dolphins in their natural habitat.

During the winter months, the bay is often filled with various species of seabirds, creating a vibrant and dynamic environment against the stunning, snow-dusted landscape. Your guide will provide fascinating insights into the biology and behavior of these creatures, ensuring an educational and breathtaking experience. After returning to the harbour, you will have ample time to explore the charming streets of Reykjavík’s city centre and enjoy a warm, delicious dinner before the evening portion of your journey begins.

As night falls, you will return to the harbour to embark on a two-hour Northern Lights City Cruise. Sailing into the southern part of Faxaflói Bay, you will leave the city lights behind to search for the elusive Aurora Borealis. Watching the sky dance with vibrant colors while floating on the dark, tranquil waters of the Atlantic is a truly magical experience that captures the raw, natural beauty of the Icelandic winter landscape.

This combo tour is the perfect way to maximize your time in Iceland, offering both wildlife encounters and celestial wonders in one convenient itinerary. Whether you are a nature lover or a photography enthusiast, this package provides a unique perspective on the island's natural marvels. With expert guidance and comfortable vessels, you are set for an incredible day of exploration that highlights the very best of what Iceland has to offer throughout the winter season.
