Important information
The tour is dependent on weather and sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Weather and sea conditions can be unpredictable during the winter months. Our captains will make their decision to sail based on many years of experience, always keeping in mind passenger safety and comfort.
Sometimes in the winter we might sail from other harbours south of Reykjavik for better sea conditions, in which case we provide transport for all our passengers to and from Reykjavik. In this case the tour might be slightly longer due to the extra drive.
Know before you go
Don't forget your ID will be required.
Cancellation policy
Tour is cancellable up to 24 hours prior to tour departure.
