Reykjavik Shore Excursion: Whale-Watching Cruise - Species You’re Targeting (and What If You See Mostly Dolphins)

3.Reykjavik Shore Excursion: Whale-Watching Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 61 reviews · 3 hours 50 minutes (approx.) · from $108

Whale-watching cruise from Reykjavik’s Skarfabakki Harbour with expert commentary, thermal overalls, and a free try-again voucher if wildlife is scarce.

“quite disappointing. we saw a grand total of four (4) dolphins! Weather was rainy,damp and cold..the cover-alls were much appreciated. The boat had a full 'crew' of young people hoping to see whales,many of these folks became sick as the ship tossed and turned in the rough waters. There was no offer of a beverage as is listed in your tour bio. Finally we were informed that they used no sonar-radar devices to spot the whales merely relying on human sightings. I've been on several whale watch cruises before and thought this was a standard used by all boats offering this tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 56 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $63Best value

Reykjavik puffin cruise to Akurey Island: loaner binoculars, expert guide spotting seabirds, coffee aboard, and ship-ready timing in about an hour.

“I'm sorry to say but this excursion was very underwhelming. It was a big group of folks (31). We went near the island but couldn't really see the puffins and binoculars were not offered. Also, we weren't required to put on lifejackets which is poor water safety. A few facts about Puffins were offered, but I would have liked way more information to keep us engaged. I would definitely NOT recommend this excursion. It was pricey as well and not worth it in my opinion. However, I did do several other tours that I booked through Viator that were awesome - South Coast tour and Golden Circle for example -…”
