A 2-hour Northern Lights yacht cruise from Reykjavik’s Old Harbor, with three deck viewing zones, a warm onboard lounge, and aurora spotting.
“A lovely evening where, by God's.grace, we saw the northern lights, which our guide explained on the way. There's plenty of space on thd yacht though it gets crowded on the upper deck. Most importantly, I proposed to my now fiancée and the tour guide took picures of us afterwards. Truly special.”

3-hour yacht whale watching from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour, cruising Faxaflói Bay and islands while searching for whales, dolphins, and porpoises.
“A great experience. It took a while to find any whales so I didn’t think we were going to see any but we did and it was amazing. I read a review that said they didn’t get long with the whales but on our tour the crew stayed ages and waited for multiple sightings before heading back. Very pleased overall and the boat was lovely, clean and spacious. Thank you for a brilliant trip which we will forever remember.”

2-hour northern lights cruise from downtown Reykjavik, with warm overalls, outdoor decks, heated cabin, Wi-Fi, and a free return.
“Although it was cloudy, we were able to see some lights before we even left the dock! Unfortunately there were some issues with the boat, so we were unable to get out past the glow of the city and had to return early, but the team were very kind and professional and we were offered alternatives and compensation. Everyone on board had a a good time regardless and the boat was very comfortable.”
A half-day combo in Reykjavik: warm puffin watching on a small boat, then whale cruises in Faxaflói Bay with a sightings promise.

Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
