About this experience

During Icelandic summer nights the daylight just seems endless. This unique whale watching tour departs in the evening from Reykjavík's Old Harbour. Experience the wildlife and nature adventure of a lifetime on our most personal whale watching tour. Our custom made RIB boats are specially designed to get you closer to the whales and puffins than any boats can offer. These fast, stable and safe boats also allow us to cover more area as we search for the wildlife, thus increasing your chances of spotting whales, dolphins and birdlife.

When possible we switch the engines off completely to give the wildlife (and you) the serenity to fully enjoy the nature under the colorful hues of the evening sky.

What better way to fully experience the uniqueness of those bright Icelandic summer nights. This adventurous evening tour is the ideal way to make the most of your day in Reykjavík. As the whales never fully sleep we can expect encountering the same wildlife on this premium whale watching tour as on our regular day tours. 

This great whale watching tour starts from the Old Harbour of Reykjavík and we first visit the puffins in their natural habitat on the islands in the bay. Then we speed up for the thrilling ride and head out to Faxaflói bay in search of the whales. During these bright summer nights few things will beat the experience of seeing the whales and dolphins as up close as you can from our RIB boats. After our whale safari we travel back to Reykjavík, where we will take ride along the city's shore line, viewing it from the sea. Including a stop at the harbour side of Iceland's most famous building, the glittering Harpa Concert Hall.
