Join a Whale watching sea adventure!
Something fun and different. Get in touch with the diverse sea life and witness the Reykjavík skyline from a whole new angle.

The only live LAVA SHOW in the world!

In order to recreate a miniature volcano eruption, they superheat real lava from the 1918 Katla eruption and once molten, pour it into a showroom full of people. It is an incredible, unforgettable experience. In an instant, the showroom heats up to a toasty temperature. And as the audience sits safe in their seats yet only a few feet away from the flowing lava, it is mesmerizing to see, hear, smell and feel the incredible heat that radiates from it.

What to expect

Whale Watching:

We start our trip from a beautiful harbour in the city center and sail out to Kollafjöður, where you can see the island in the bay.

Whale Watching departure at 09:00 & Lava Show at 14:00.
Whale Watching departure at 13:00 & Lava Show at 18:00.

Provided with the faster boat so the time on the spotting area is the same, just sailing to that point and back to harbour is shorter.
