Dolphin and Whale Spotting

Nothing beats the fresh North Atlantic breeze on a boat ride off the coast of Iceland, except perhaps witnessing one of earth´s most magnificent creatures at the same time. Seeing whales and dolphins up close in the wild is a breathtaking experience. Chances are that you´ll see the real thing, because whales and dolphins are spotted on more than 90 percent of the trips. Experts are on hand to talk about the whales, birds and coastline seen along the way.

The most common whales seen on the excursion are minke whales, although species such as humpback whales, orcas and sei whales have also been spotted. White beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises are also a frequent sighting in the area, and the coastal cliffs are home to a myriad of seabirds including puffins and gannets. Sailing from the harbour of Keflavik, the course is taken out to sea and the excitement grows as passengers and crew look out for whales blowing or lifting their gigantic tails out of the water. Whales and dolphins often come up very close to the boat, peering at it with interest or playing around it, and the larger specimens have a way of making us humans feel very small in comparison!

The boat trip takes approximately three hours, and the Moby Dick team are happy to pick you up at your Reykjavik hotel. On the way home, weather-beaten sailors have the option of indulging in a hot soak at the stunning Blue lagoon.

Sea Angling - Fishing

One of our specialities is fishing at the fine fishing ground in the local waters. 100% fishing, cod or sei fish. All fishing gear is provided on this 4-5 hour fishing tour. We also offer to grill the catch onboard and serve.  Minimum 10 passengers.

Hotel pick-up

Hotel pick-up service via the Blue lagoon (optional)
Our mini buses can easily pick up our guests from any accommodation in Reykjavik and vicinity. Pick- up is approx. 1 hour prior to the departure of the boat. En route, information will be given about the Reykjanes peninsula, its communities and the whale watching. After the tour with Moby Dick, passengers will be brought back to their accommodation, or they may first be taken to the Blue lagoon (entr. fee extra) and then - after a stay there for 2 hours - be brought to their accommodation. If you are leaving on an afternoon or evening flight we can drop you off at the international airport in Keflavik.
