Introduction
Take part in an adventure at sea with an unforgettable trip into the world of whales and sea birds. Whales most frequently seen on tours with Elding are the Minke whales, Orcas, Humpback whales, Dolphins and Porpoises.
Itinerary
Whale watching tours are scheduled from the old harbour in Reykjavik at 09:00 from beginning of April through September.
If the weather conditions are too bad or if we believe the whale sightings will be better with departures from Grindavik, Sandgerdi, Keflavik or Hafnarfjordur which are small towns on the Reykjanes peninsula, we will change the departure place but only to do the best we can for our customers.
On tours with departure from Reykjavík SE and SW part of Faxafloi is covered. When departure is from Sandgerdi or Grindavik the area of the south and West Coast of Reykjanes peninsula is covered, often with a visit to Eldey Island.
Whales most frequently seen on tours with Elding are the Minke whales, Orcas, Humpback whales, Dolphins and Porpoises. In these areas we see many different species of seabirds such as the gannet, puffin, guillemot razorbill, cormorant, gulls, kittiwake, terns and many more. Eldey island is home to a Gannet breeding colony of 16,000 pairs.
Children
We have a special play area for children inside the boat. There kids can have fun with plush whale and puffin toys, colouring books, and children´s books on whales and sea birds in may languages.
