Program details

Experience the abundant natural beauty of the great Icelandic outdoors and a touch of adrenaline with a day that combines whale watching with an exhilarating ride on a quad bike. Available in two options, this adventurous day will have you whale watching in the morning and riding in the afternoon or vice versa. Escape into the scenic outback of the capital city, and away from the hustle and bustle.

The whale watching part of your day will begin when you climb aboard and set sail from Reykjavik's old harbour. Once into the depths of Faxafloi Bay, keep your eyes to the sea, and try to catch a glimpse of humpback and minke whales and frolicking dolphins. Known for a rich variety of sea birds, take in the sights and sounds of arctic terns, gannets and puffins galore. Snap some photos for lasting memories. As you are observing these animals in their natural environment, a sighting cannot be guaranteed, but the attempt will certainly be made. Now, gear up for an adventure on land. Get your heart pumping with the next part of the day, as you speed off on an all-terrain vehicle. Head on up to the top of Hafrafell or Ulfarsfell, where you can take a short stop to admire the astounding views of the peaceful countryside surrounding Reykjavik, before heading back.

Whether you start your day racing towards the top of a mountain or out on the bay, this day tour combining two outdoor adventures will provide a fun and exciting day in a picturesque landscape.
