WHALE WATCHING & Reykjavik | ZuzArt
I had just two days to see Reykjavik - the capital city of Iceland and I've tried to whale watching in Atlantic ocean. I saw dolphins, puffins and of course whales!
I've also had very nice hitchhiking experience and thanks to it... I was on the two continents in one time!

Whale Watching in Reykjavik Iceland
From a whale watching tour by Elding in Reykjavík, great video. The good thing about whale watching from Reykjavik is that you dont have to go far to spot whales and they are spotted in almost every tour.
Exploring Iceland, Whale Watching, Elding Hafsúlan, Downtown Reykjavik
Hafsúlan was originally built as a ferry boat in Norway but brought to Iceland in 1998 to serve as a whale watching boat. It came into the hands of the Elding family in 2007 and is now our main whale watching boat. It's also used for Northern Lights Cruises in the winter time and various private tours with larger groups. We have made many changes to the boat to make it better suited for whale watching and other adventures at sea, such as adding the rooftop viewing deck.
Blue Lagoon & Whale Watching - ICELAND Narrated Vacation Documentary - PART 3
This is Part 3 of 4 of the Iceland Vacation Documentary. In early August 2015 my family traveled to Iceland - this documentary shares my experience with video footage and my own thoughts with narration. We traveled on several tours to see as much as possible in one week. Part 1 is about Reykjavik the capital city, Part 2 is about the Golden Circle Tour, Part 3 is about the Blue Lagoon and Whale Watching, and Part 4 is about the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.
Killer Whales in Reykjavík Iceland 13.3.17 - Elding Adventure at Sea
From our whale diary:
Report from Eldey: We knew from the morning that our ride was going to be cold and bumpy, but we were prepared ! We put everyone in full-body suits to protect from the cold, and we proposed sea-sickness to anyone willing to be on the safe side. What we were not prepared for, though, was how incredible this tour was going to be ! We went straightforward to the area where we saw the feeding dolphins earlier in the morning, but there was no cetaceans there. Still, we caught sight of numerous splashes and when coming closer we could see hundreds of northern gannets diving in the water, hunting fishes. We stayed a little bit to enjoy from very close their aerial displays, until our first mate Otto spotted a large blow in the distance, that lead us to a humpback whale, the second of the year ! It was at first tricky to get closer since it was taking dives that lasted for what felt like an eternity and only surfacing once before diving down again. Our fish finder indicated there was fish below us close to the bottom, so we assumed this individual as busy feeding under the water. We remained patient and attentive, until we could have close encounter right in front of the boat ! After that the whale was on the move, surfacing quicker and more often. We eventually left this humpback and started to go back home because time was due. Then a miraculous even happened: as were closing in toward Reykjavik, we hit the jackpot and 5 KILLER WHALES (the firsts of 2017) surfaced next to us and followed us for more than 10 minutes ! There was 3 males with an impressively tall dorsal fin and 2 splendid manners. They were surfacing nicely and slowly, allowing the capture of breathtaking pictures. On some occasions they came less than 20 m from the boat and went under the boat, and also did a little bit of tail-slapping for our greatest joy. It was a moment of sheer excitement and pure bliss, with a hysterical crew and cheerful passengers ! The orcas disappeared as we neared the lighthouse Grótta, and the trip ended with everyone head over heels.

WHALE WATCHING FROM REYKJAVÍK ICELAND - THIS IS ELDING!
ELDING WHALE WATCHING – DECADES OF EXPERIENCE AND YEAR-ROUND TOURS
Elding Whale Watching offers the most talked-about whale watching and sea adventure tours in Iceland. With decades of experience, we provide responsible whale watching tours, year round. Our other tours include incentive and exclusive tours, and the ferry to Viðey Island.
We also have seasonal tours. In summer we offer puffin watching and sea angling, and in winter our tours include Northern Lights Cruises and Imagine Peace Tours.
REYKJAVIK'S ORIGINAL WHALE WATCHING OPERATOR
We are proud to be the original whale watching operator in Reykjavík. Elding is a family owned company that began with a personal interest in wildlife, boats and people. Whale watching tours were the perfect way to unite these interests while giving locals and tourists the chance to experience Iceland’s marine life.
We started in 2000, and over the years our products and services have developed a great deal; from small-scale seasonal tours to year-round products, and whale watching is now one of the top three tourist activities in Iceland.
EXPERIENCE AND ENTHUSIASM AT ELDING
We believe in using our experience and enthusiasm to make the best tours available. We truly put great care into the business, and whale watching has become a lifestyle for us. As our tours are authentic wildlife tours and each one is unique.
RESPONSIBLE WHALE WATCHING
We follow IceWhale’s codes of conduct for responsible whale watching as well as following our own stricter guidelines. We take part in international cooperation on the future of whale watching, e.g. IWC and Planet Whale. To advance our knowledge we participate and support marine biologists research on wildlife in our area. Elding also is the first and only environmentally certified whale watching company in Iceland.
Iceland Trip February 2019
We traveled to Iceland via Iceland Air on February 8-12, 2019. When booking through Iceland Air we booked the Blue Lagoon and Northern Lights package! We had an incredible time and footage above barely does it justice! The hotel was awesome, tours were incredible, but the memories we will cherish for a lifetime! The footage above was captured via a Go Pro Hero 7 and iPhone X. I will attach links below to all the tours that we did! I hope you enjoy and go visit Iceland!

WHALE WATCHING TOUR | VIEWS FROM THE ARTIC CIRCLE! | REYKJAVIK, ICELAND
On my trip to Iceland I decided to go whale watching because of how highly recommended it was when I was booking tours. It was a really neat experience to be out on the freshwaters of Iceland. During the winter months it's so cold on the waters, however the experience is 10/10 recommend. We got a chance to see a few whales during our tour, the tour guides said that more whale are likely to show on small boat tours, during the spring and summer months.

Whale Watching in Iceland: Is this what you want to see?
Iceland is one of only three nations -- including Norway and Japan -- that have chosen to ignore the international moratorium on hunting whales, established in 1986. Hvalur hf's aging whaling ships use exploding harpoon guns that cause immense pain and suffering to the endangered fin whales before they die. There is no local market for endangered fin whale meat, so it is exported to Japan.
Whale watching in Iceland is a responsible and highly profitable alternative to the whaling industry, and is growing in popularity as people visit Iceland to see these majestic marine mammals swimming free in the oceans where they belong.
Please email or write polite letters voicing your support for Iceland's whale watching industry and the establishment of a national whale sanctuary in Iceland's territorial waters:
