Winter Whale Watching and Northern Lights Cruise from Reykjavik
This magnificent combo tour unites some of the most popular winter attractions in Iceland! You start the day with a 3 hr. whale watching tour at 09:00/13:00 with departure from the Old Harbour in Reykjavík. The most common species seen in Faxaflói bay in winter are the minke whales, dolphins, porpoises and humpback whales. The views and landscape on the horizon are not to be missed as they are astonishing in the winter glow! In between the two activities, you will have several hours of free time in the city. We recommend exploring the charming Old Harbour and Grandi areas, filled with cozy restaurants and small shops. The 2 hr. magical evening cruise departs at 21:00/22:00 (depending on the season), taking you into the Southern part of Faxaflói bay, a bit further away from the city. Heading out into the open bay under the vast starry sky is a wonderful experience and the northern lights are something you don't want to miss out on your trip to Iceland!
