Overview
The Wildlife Whale Watching and Puffin Tour in Reykjavik offers a chance to see amazing animals in Iceland. This tour takes people out on the water to see whales and puffins. Get ready to see Iceland's beautiful nature at Reykjavik Old Harbour, the Atlantic Ocean (for Whale Watching), and Puffin Island (for the Puffin Tour).
During the whale watching part of the tour, passengers can look for different types of whales, like Minke and Humpback whales. It's also possible to spot dolphins, Harbour porpoises, and even Killer whales! The boat trip also offers amazing views of the mountains near Reykjavik and the pretty islands around the bay. Many different kinds of birds fly around, making the scenery even better.
