Head out to sea and enjoy whales and puffins under the midnight sun

Experience the magical midnight sun on an unforgettable boat tour from Reykjavík. The tour takes you out onto the Atlantic Ocean, where you have the chance to spot majestic whale species such as the humpback whale, common minke whale and, with a bit of luck, even the orca. Alongside the giant marine mammals you can watch lively Atlantic puffins in their natural habitat, especially during the summer months when they nest in large numbers along Iceland’s coasts. Let yourself be enchanted by the diversity of the marine ecosystem and discover other seabirds and marine life.

The roughly two-hour tour starts in the evening and is run in small, safe RIB boats for a maximum of 12 people. As you navigate through the waters, you benefit from the explanations of experienced nature guides, who introduce you not only to the impressive wildlife but also to the geological features of Reykjavík bay. At the end of the tour you glide along Reykjavík’s coastline and pass sights such as the Sun Voyager while you enjoy the unique atmosphere of the midnight sun.
