Reykjavík Premium Whales in the Midnight Sun
Operated by Elding Adventure at Sea
About this experience
What better to fully experience the uniqueness of those bright Icelandic summer nights than out on the waters in the midnight sun. Experience the wildlife and nature adventure of a lifetime on our most personal whale watching tour available each summer, from June until mid-August.
Our custom made, safe and stable RIB boats allow you to get closer the whales and puffins than any boats can offer and allow us to cover more area, thus increasing your chances of spotting whales, dolphins and birdlife. Whenever possible, we turn off the engines entirely, allowing the us to experience the tranquility of nature under the vibrant hues of the evening sky.
After exploring the wildlife of the bay, we travel back to Reykjavík, where we will ride along the city shore line, viewing it from the sea. We will pass by the Sun Voyager sculpture and one of Iceland's most prominent buildings, the incredible Harpa Concert Hall.
