Experience two of Iceland’s signature adventures in one day: a 3-hour whale watching tour and a 2-hour Northern Lights & City Cruise, all at a discounted combo price.
Spot humpback whales, harbour porpoises, white-beaked dolphins, minke whales, and winter seabirds in Faxaflói Bay, guided by an expert marine biologist naturalist.
Enjoy a break between tours to explore Reykjavík or grab dinner before heading back out for an evening cruise beneath the aurora-lit sky.
Stay warm with heated indoor spaces, panoramic viewing decks, and complimentary overalls, with free WiFi available on board.

Only registered service animals are allowed; pets cannot join this tour.

Additional information
-
The total tour duration depends on the departure times you select. You’ll have a few hours of free time between the whale watching cruise and the Northern Lights sailing. Your confirmation email will outline the exact schedule.
-
Hotel transfers are optional. If added, you’ll be picked up only before the whale watching tour and dropped off only after the Northern Lights cruise. Additional transfers can be arranged on request.
-
Both sailings run only in safe sea conditions, and last-minute cancellations can occur. The team will notify you whenever possible, and it’s recommended to check the operator’s website for updates on the day of your tour.
-
Wildlife and aurora sightings can never be guaranteed. If your tour happens to be a “no-sighting day,” you’ll receive a complimentary return ticket valid for two years.
-
Onboard amenities include heated seating areas, large viewing windows, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a café/bar where you can purchase refreshments.
