What to expect
Whale Watching in Reykjavik, Iceland is a fantastic experience for families. The waters surrounding the capital are rich with marine life, including Minke whales, Humpback whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Guided tours are available, which take you to the best areas to spot these amazing creatures. The tours are led by experienced guides who share fascinating insights into Iceland's diverse sea life. Most tours last 2.5 to 3.5 hours and rarely venture more than 15 km from the harbor. To ensure comfort, every passenger is provided with a special wetsuit to keep them warm and dry. The success rate for spotting whales is high, with some tours boasting a 98% success rate. The best time for whale watching is during the summer season, from early May to late August, when whale activity is at its highest. Whale watching is a safe activity for all ages when conducted responsibly, and guides focus on minimizing interference with the animals. Families can enjoy a fun and educational experience, with the opportunity to learn about these incredible creatures and their habitat

ICELAND with family, Iceland with children
Activities: We went on a 3-hour boat trip to see dolphins, porpoises, and whales. Depending on the season, we could also see puffins. We saw porpoises and Minke whales. The excursion was well organized, with cold-weather clothing available for adults and children
Highlights: The boat trip was enjoyable despite not seeing whales, but it was well organized. The boat was comfortable. It is even possible to return for free in case of bad weather or if no animals are spotted! ✨
