As the weather condition is not looking good for whale watching in Faxaflói we're offering tours from Grindavík today (Friday 13 July) and most likely tomorrow (Saturday 14 July). The wind is blowing from the northwest and the area south of Grindavík is much better for whale watching since Reykjanes peninsula gives good shelter. We have had many great tours from Grindavík in the past with frequent sightings of Orca/Killer Whales. This morning when our crew was moving the boat to Grindavík they came upon two pods of Orca/Killer whales so we have high expectations for the tours today.
Today our departes are:
9:00 from Reykjavík
10:00 from Reykjavík with bus to the boat in Grindavík
13:00 from Reykjavík with bus to the boat in Grindavík
14:00 cancelled
17:00 from Reykjavík with bus to the boat in Grindavík
20:30 cancelled
The duration of the tours from Grindavík is longer because of the driving back and forth so our guests could expect to be back around 4-5 hours later. The pick up times are still the same as before and the drop off right after return to Reykjavík.
We have limited space on our busses so it is important to book a space on the tour! Guests can also meet us in Grindavík, but it is still important to book to make sure that there is enough space.
