What to expect

Escape the crowds and head out to see the wildlife in Faxaflói bay in a luxury yacht. In this tour you will be cruising along the beautiful coastline of Reykjavík and admiring the view of the landscape from the sea, before heading out to the bay in search of whales and puffins.

The giants of the ocean that you will be looking for are Minke whales and Humpback whales. With a bit of luck you might even spot a group of white beaked dolphins or harbour porpoises. During the summer months you will also be able to see a lot of different seabirds and puffins as you sail close to a puffin island.

This deluxe tour offers a more personal service with fewer passengers. In addition, the new interior was refitted in 2019, giving you the chance to experience the wildlife at sea in a truly luxurious and unforgettable experience.

    Great guide, instructions on checking in could be clearer, I.e go to the restaurant to check in’. We did get to see Whales and seals who have no obligation to show up so that was superb

    Toilet were dirty, I know it was a boat but they could have done with a clean. More refreshments, for the price there should have been a one free drink. The booking was done because we needed to get out of the terrible hotel room.

    Too many people on the boat as this was sold as a luxury experience I didn’t expect this. There were no seats when we arrived 15 mins before as suggested. Please tell people to get there half a hour beforehand. Warm inside cabins which was appreciated. Couldn’t find any binoculars? These were advertised as part of the luxury experience. Staff were very helpful.

    Staff were lovely and helped us on and off of the boat and were informative. Bar on board was great, and indoors was nice and warm with sofas and blankets for when the cold got too much. Only downside was that the front of the boat was very icy and hadn't been salted so it made moving around the front of the boat quite dangerous and slippy.

    I liked that this was a luxury tour, with a nice yacht rather than some of the other ships that look like smaller ferries. There's enough room for everyone to have a seat if they want to, or stand out on deck (also some seating out on deck & top deck). There's a small bar for drinks/snacks to buy on the journey, and the captain/guide gave some interesting information about Iceland, whales/dolphins and the tour itself. I would recommend this tour and go again myself.
