Whale Watching
Special Tours operates two types of whale watching from the Old Harbour in Reykjavik, Whale Watching Classic and Whale Watching Express.
The Whale Watching Classic (3-3.5 hours) is normally operated on our largest boat, Andrea.
The Andrea gives extra comfort, with great inside and outside viewing areas. She is very family friendly with an educational and interactive focus with whale bones, baleen plates, teeth and a microscope on board to look at sea specimens. The Classic tours are guided in English year-round, with German guidance available May 1st - September 30th.
The Whale Watching Express (2-2.5 hours) is operated on either Rósin or Lilja, both being comfortable boats and fast boats.
The Express gets you out to the whale watching area in less time but gives you the same time on the bay whale watching. Both boats have indoor seating areas and fantastic outer viewing decks. The Express tours are guided in English, with Spanish guidance available at 10:00 on Fridays from June 1st - September 30th.
The most common whales spotted include minke whales, humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises.
