About This Tour
Join us for an unforgettable Midnight Sun Whale Watching Tour at our charming ticket office in the Old Harbour of downtown Reykjavík. Here, you can easily exchange your pre-paid voucher for admission. Our friendly staff will guide you to our floating wildlife exhibition in the Visitor Centre, located on a converted fishing vessel. This vessel is permanently docked by the pier.
Onboard Experience
Before we set sail, enjoy our multimedia show featuring captivating images and videos. Learn fascinating facts about whales and marine life. During our 2.5 to 3.5-hour evening cruise, you can expect to see incredible wildlife, such as minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, harbor porpoises, and even humpback whales—just like on our day tours!
Scenic Views
As we journey through the stunning waters, the mystical midnight sun casts beautiful orange and pink hues over the mountains surrounding the bay. This breathtaking backdrop enhances your wildlife experience. To make the tour even more enjoyable, we often turn off the boat engines. This allows you to fully appreciate the soothing sounds of water, whales, and birds. Relax with mellow music during the return trip to port. This Midnight Sun Whale Watching Tour is perfect for romance or as a fantastic start to a night out in the city. If you’re in the mood for a drink, check our onboard bar menu—we highly recommend the ‘Whale Punch’!
