Whale Watching Cruise from Reykjavík

Come aboard the Amelia Rose yacht and discover the rich marine life that inhabits the waters off Reykjavík. This intimate, small-group whale watching cruise departs from Reykjavík Old Harbour and explores the islands and coastline of Faxaflói Bay, combining scenic coastal views with dedicated wildlife searching.

The most frequently sighted species are minke and humpback whales, together with dolphins and porpoises, while sightings of orcas and other cetaceans are possible on occasion. The professional crew are experienced spotters and are committed to offering an informative and enjoyable experience for passengers of all ages, helping you learn about behaviour and best viewing practice.

Amelia Rose features three panoramic deck areas so every guest can enjoy excellent photo opportunities. Decks are partially covered to provide shelter from wind and rain and are easily circumnavigated for the best vantage points. Built as an offshore vessel, the yacht handles Iceland’s sometimes choppy seas with greater stability, reducing the chance of seasickness and making the journey more comfortable.

Whether you are travelling with family or friends, this small-group cruise offers a stylish and relaxed way to encounter Iceland’s charismatic marine mammals while enjoying superb coastal panoramas.
