Best whalewatching experience by far

Heidi_K, Aug 2025

Whale watching was unbelieveble experience! Weather was a bit rough and rainy, but warm overalls allowed us to stay on deck and watch tens or even hundreds sights of humpbacks breathing, showing backs, tails, jumping up and waving. Still cant believe how big and playful comunity of whales live near, only 20-30 min boat ride from Reykjavik in July-August. We also saw some mink whales. We did not get sea sick, though took tablets just to avoid it...

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience — it sounds like an unforgettable day on the water! Watching so many humpbacks in action, especially in such a nearby area, is truly something special. We’re glad the overalls kept you warm and that everything went smoothly despite the weather. We really appreciate your kind words! Best regards, Reykjavik Sailors
