Activity itinerary

Old Harbour (Pass by)

The ship sets sails from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour and during your journey, you’ll sail among the small islands in the Faxaflói Bay, as well as along the coast of Reykjavík, providing you with a fantastic view of the city as you search for the wildlife in the water. The most common sights are minke and humpback whales, dolphins, and porpoises. However, there is always a chance to spot a few orcas (also known as killer whales) as well as a wealth of other species. The professional team onboard is very experienced in spotting whales and is dedicated to making sure their passengers leave with a smile!

Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre (Pass by)

Harpa is a concert hall and conference centre in Reykjavík, Iceland. The opening concert was held on May 4, 2011. The building features a distinctive coloured glass facade inspired by the basalt landscape of Iceland.

Faxaflói (Pass by)

Faxafloi bay is situated on its southern shore. From Reykjavik it is possible to see the peninsula of Akranes in the northeast and even the Snæfellsjökull at a distance of about 120 km (75 mi). This bay has few islands and the ones it does have are close to land, in particular contrast to the bay directly north of it, Breiðafjörður, which has the most islands of any bay in Iceland.

Engey (Pass by)

Engey is the second largest island of the Kollafjörður (Faxa Bay) fjord in western Iceland.

Lundey (Pass by)

Lundey, literally "Puffin Island" in Icelandic, is a small, uninhabited island off the western coast of Reykjavík, Iceland.

Videy Island (Pass by)

Viðey is the largest island of the Kollafjörður Bay in Iceland, near the capital of Reykjavík.
