Whale Watching and Golden Circle Tour from Reykjavik
If you are only in Iceland for a short time, or you simply wish to fit in as much as possible, our Full-Day Whale Watching & Golden Circle Tour might just be the perfect option for you.
Start the day at sea, with a 3 hour adventure in the North Atlantic. Keep your eyes peeled for the breaching flukes of a number of whale species, most notably Minke and Orca. Our passionate guides will keep you entertained while we search for these elusive creatures.
The waters here are also home to dolphins, seals and sea-birds.
After a hopefully successful sighting, jump aboard our bus for your afternoon Golden Circle Tour. We stop at all the classic stops, including Thingvellir National Park, Geysir, Gullfoss Waterfall and Kerið Volcanic Crater.
Return to the city in time for dinner, where you can reflect on your fun-filled day spent exploring at sea and on land.
