Tour Details
Climb aboard the sleek and powerful RIB Express, a vessel designed for speed and intimacy with nature, as you embark on a thrilling two-hour journey across the shimmering waters of Faxaflói Bay. Feel the adrenaline surge as the boat slices through the waves at a brisk 32 knots, the salty sea breeze whipping through your hair and the sun glinting off the water's surface. This is not just a ride; it's an exhilarating dance with the ocean.
As you venture into the heart of the bay, the anticipation builds. Suddenly, the majestic giants of the sea emerge from the depths. A humpback whale breaches nearby, its massive form creating a spectacle of splashing water and awe-inspiring power. The RIB Express, with its nimble 12-meter frame, allows you to get remarkably close, offering a front-row seat to the wonders of the marine world while ensuring the safety of both passengers and the gentle giants.
But the adventure doesn't stop there. On your way to the whale feeding grounds, you'll make a delightful detour to Akurey, the charming puffin island. Here, you can observe these endearing seabirds, their colorful beaks a vibrant contrast against the rugged Icelandic coastline, as they flit about during their nesting season.
As the tour winds down, the RIB Express takes a scenic route back along the coast of Reykjavík. The cityscape unfolds before you, offering a perfect backdrop for capturing memories with your camera. And to enrich your experience further, the Whales of Iceland Exhibition awaits you at the harbor, where you can delve deeper into the fascinating world of these marine creatures, with admission included in your tour.
