Nature & Wildlife Tours

Faxaflói Bay, the ocean around Reykjavík, a whale watcher’s paradise, offers an unforgettable chance of close encounters with some of the world’s largest and most magnificent animals. Faxaflói is the natural habitat for many different types of whales and dolphins; the most commonly sighted on whale watching tours from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour are minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, harbour porpoises, and majestic humpback whales. Horse riding in the Capital area is a great way to get to know the unique Icelandic horse and get some quality time outdoors. The Icelandic horse is unique in many ways. It's the only horse breed in the world that can perform five gaits (ways of walking), while other horses can only perform three or four. You don't have to go far to enjoy some company with our beautiful horses as there are several horse rentals located within the Reykjavík capital area.
