Combine two memorable marine wildlife experiences departing from Reykjavík. One excursion takes a smaller vessel out to the nearby breeding islands of Akurey, Engey or Lundey, where thousands of puffins arrive each season to nest. These rocky islets also attract other seabirds such as eider ducks, arctic terns, guillemots and cormorants, creating a bustling natural spectacle. Captains steer to prime viewing locations and, when conditions allow, may quiet the engines so you can absorb the atmosphere and listen to the calls of the birds.
The second excursion ventures further into the bay to seek out larger marine mammals. Summer months bring increased activity and greater chances of encountering minke whales, while white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises are also frequent visitors. Throughout the journey crew provide insightful commentary about animal behaviour, feeding patterns and the coastal ecosystem, deepening your understanding of the region’s wildlife. The combination of intimate bird encounters and open-water whale watching offers varied perspectives on Iceland’s marine life and scenic coastline, making it ideal for nature lovers and photographers alike.
