What to expect

1

Skerjafjörður

The tour lasts up to 2 hours. We sail from Kópavogur harbor about 10 miles out from the shore. It takes about 15-25 minutes to get to the area where we expect to find some whales/dolphins. For about 60 minutes we experience the thrill of searching for whales in the ocean, preferably admire them and take pictures. While sailing back to shore we play some music. We speed along the cost of Skerjafjörður and into Fossvogur. Out by the golden sanded beach of Nauthólsvík we stop, relax and try a local Icelandic specialty: harðfiskur (dried fish). The dried fish is a healthy snack, rich in protein and nutrients, and a "must try" when in Iceland. While returning back to the harbor you really get to feel the power of the RIB boat and we aim to make you feel like it is a rollercoaster on the water!!!

Duration 120 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
