Whale Watching - RIB Boat Adventure in Kopavogur, Iceland

5.0
(5 reviews)
Reykjavik, Iceland

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Experience the sheer magnificence of speeding across the waves of the Atlantic Ocean aboard our powerful, open RIB boat as you embark on the thrilling whale-watching expedition.

The RIB boat is very powerful and therefore it takes only 15-25 minutes to get to the location where we expect to find whales/dolphins.
On the way back to the harbor we stop by the golden sanded beach of Nauthólsvík where we relax and try a local Icelandic specialty: harðfiskur (dried fish). The dried fish is a healthy snack, rich in protein and nutrients, and a "must try" when in Iceland.
The last minutes of the ride to the harbor you really get to feel the power of the RIB boat, where we aim to make you feel like it is a rollercoaster on the water!!!

Our RIB boat, BLIKI, is meticulously equipped for your comfort and safety. It boasts two powerful 440 hp Volvo Penta engines and features padded suspension jockey seats with shock mitigation, ensuring a remarkably smooth and comfortable journey.

What's Included

Warm overalls, life vests, gloves and googles.

    The tour lasts up to 2 hours. We sail from Kópavogur harbor about 10 miles out from the shore. It takes about 15-25 minutes to get to the area where we expect to find some whales/dolphins. For about 60 minutes we experience the thrill of searching for whales in the ocean, preferably admire them and take pictures. While sailing back to shore we play some music. We speed along the cost of Skerjafjörður and into Fossvogur. Out by the golden sanded beach of Nauthólsvík we stop, relax and try a local Icelandic specialty: harðfiskur (dried fish). The dried fish is a healthy snack, rich in protein and nutrients, and a "must try" when in Iceland.
