Overview

Join us for a friendly, family-run whale watching tour in the whale watching capital of Europe. Our daily tours will provide you with a personal experience, whether you're a first-time adventurer or a seasoned wildlife enthusiast. You will have the chance to see Humpback whales, Minke whales, Blue Whales, Sei Whales, Fin Whales, Sperm Whales, Killer whales, Northern Bottlenose whales, Pilot Whales, or White-beaked dolphins in their natural environment. Along the way, we’ll share fascinating facts about these incredible animals and the ecosystem they call home. We’re a small, local team that will go the extra mile for you to have a personal and unforgettable experience. Our tours prioritise the safety of our passengers with equal respect for the whales, and we're proud ambassadors of the Code of Conduct - we follow and advocate for strict guidelines to ensure minimal disturbance and interference with the whales’ natural behaviour. Our operating season is March-December. We invite you to join us and learn about these incredible animals, proving that responsible tourism can go hand in hand with creating unforgettable experiences. We're known for giving more than just a boat ride - it’s a chance to connect with nature in a relaxed, enjoyable and sustainable way. We appreciate the inherent unpredictability of natural wildlife encounters. Although our expeditions have had over 98% success with whales and dolphins, sightings cannot be guaranteed. In case of no sightings, we do not offer a refund. Nevertheless, we extend an offer to our guests to partake in an alternative departure, subject to availability. We are dedicated to ensuring a memorable experience for all our patrons, regardless of the whims of nature.

We have two boats: Vinur and Moby Dick. Vinur is a stable, ferry-style whale-watching boat with a heated indoor area, large windows, and multiple outdoor viewing platforms. It is ideal for colder days, winter tours, families with children, and guests who prefer the option to warm up between sightings. Moby Dick is the most classic, beautifully restored traditional Icelandic oak boat with a wide-open deck, offering excellent visibility and superb conditions for photography with unobstructed wildlife viewing.
