Our whale watching boat, Rósin (The Rose), offers an absolute innovation in whale watching adventures in Iceland.

The whale watching tours start from the Reykjavik Old Harbour and during puffin season (1 May - 15 Aug) we sail past the puffin islands Akurey and Lundey, inhabited by thousands of puffins. From there it takes us only 15 - 20 minutes to get to where the whales are. In the whale watching tours you´ll see whales in their natural environment, quite up close and personal. The friendly guides and captain point out where to spot the whales on the surface of the sea and give you interesting information about the different kinds of whales you can expect to see.

It is safe to name the trip Whale Watching Express as The Rose is quite a fast cruiser, taking less time to reach the adventure out to the whales. Therefore the whale watching adventures with Special Tours only take 2 - 2 ½ hours. Our passengers get the same amount of time whale watching, simply less time waiting (Only 15-20 minutes instead of 40-60 minues each way)!
