Midnight Sun Tour

During the summer months Iceland enjoys nearly 24 hours of daylight, which makes the Midnight Sun whale watching tour a truly exceptional evening experience. You set sail at 21:00 and head out into the calm waters of Faxaflói Bay, searching for marine mammals while the late sun paints the sea in golden light. Our knowledgeable guides use their experience to locate and identify species such as humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises. The slower pace of the evening trip allows for relaxed viewing, photography and ample time to savour sightings. Boats are equipped with viewing decks and crew provide informative commentary throughout; binoculars, spotting tips and camera advice enhance each encounter. Even for visitors familiar with daytime excursions, watching whales beneath the midnight sun feels different — quieter, more atmospheric and exceptionally photogenic. This cruise is suitable for families and wildlife enthusiasts seeking late-hour wildlife action without sacrificing comfort. Be prepared for variable weather, bring a warm layer and a camera to make the most of this memorable Icelandic maritime adventure.
