Why we love it?

This tour combines a 3 to 3.5-hour whale watching excursion departing from Reykjavik’s Old Harbour with an afternoon visit to the Lava Tunnel, or Raufarholshellir. On the whale watching tour, you’ll explore Faxaflói Bay to spot marine life such as Minke and Humpback whales, dolphins, harbour porpoises, and occasionally killer whales, while enjoying views of Reykjavik’s mountains and islands. The boats provide warm overalls, heated indoor cabins, free Wi-Fi, and seasickness tablets for comfort. After returning to shore, you’ll travel to the Lava Tunnel, a volcanic cave formed around 5,200 years ago, where an experienced guide will lead you through this unique underground formation.
