Then, board your high-speed boat at Reykjavik Old Harbor.
Meet your captain, listen to a safety briefing, pull on a pair of provided coveralls, and find a spot on deck or in the indoor cabin. As your boat pulls away, listen to onboard commentary about the marine life of Faxaflói Bay, and learn about the minke and humpback whales that can frequent the waters.
Enjoy the views over the Icelandic mountains, and scan the water for whales, porpoises and white-beaked dolphins. Keep your camera ready — these trips have more than a 90% success rate for whale sightings. In the unlikely event that you don’t spot a whale, you’ll receive a ticket for another cruise.
After your return to the harbor, make your way independently to the Whales of Iceland exhibition, Europe's largest exhibition dedicated to whales. Ogle life-size models of whale and dolphin species including belugas and killer whales, and see replicas of the minkes and humpbacks you may have seen earlier. Learn about these giants of the sea from the displays, and perhaps relax over drinks and snacks (own expense) at the café before you leave.
