    Dizzy

    I purchased the ticket online and was fortunate to get the Tuesday special discount. Since this was my second visit, I found that I became quite dizzy during the experience. In comparison, the Perlan Museum was much better and more enjoyable overall.

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you were able to take advantage of the Tuesday special offer. We’re sorry to hear that you experienced dizziness during the tour, especially on your second visit. Guest comfort is very important to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We also appreciate your honest comparison and feedback, as it helps us understand how we can improve the overall experience for our guests. Thank you again for visiting, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more comfortable experience in the future. Best regards, Reykjavik Sailors

    A real ‘wow’ experience

    This was a little bit pricy for the length of the show but money aside, it really was magnificent. The staff were friendly and efficient and the cafe had a nice selection. The ride was great - exhilarating and we loved the water sprays! At one stage I was screaming as it feels so real! Recommend for some stunning views of Iceland.

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the experience exciting and enjoyable, and that our team and facilities added to your visit. We also appreciate your comments regarding pricing, as this helps us continue to improve. Best regards, Reykjavik Sailors Team

    Fly Over Iceland

    It was like an IMAX show. Very beautiful scenery. It was not long, too short, and it was pricey. It was about $67 Canadian for each adult and the show was maybe 10 minutes. i would go if you are considering it as the scenery was gorgeous.

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the scenery and found it worthwhile, even if brief. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the duration and pricing, as it helps us continue to improve and set clear expectations for future guests. Best regards, Reykjavik Sailors Team

    Best whalewatching experience by far

    Whale watching was unbelieveble experience! Weather was a bit rough and rainy, but warm overalls allowed us to stay on deck and watch tens or even hundreds sights of humpbacks breathing, showing backs, tails, jumping up and waving. Still cant believe how big and playful comunity of whales live near, only 20-30 min boat ride from Reykjavik in July-August. We also saw some mink whales. We did not get sea sick, though took tablets just to avoid it...

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience — it sounds like an unforgettable day on the water! Watching so many humpbacks in action, especially in such a nearby area, is truly something special. We’re glad the overalls kept you warm and that everything went smoothly despite the weather. We really appreciate your kind words! Best regards, Reykjavik Sailors

    Breathtaking and refreshingly realistic

    This did not disappoint. It was truly amazing and felt like I was really flying over the whole of Iceland experiencing all the sights, sounds and smells. Truly breathtaking and incredible A must see for anyone who visits here “You will hang suspended, feet dangling, before a 20-metre spherical screen while our film whisks you away on an exhilarating journey across Iceland. Special effects, including wind, mist and scents, combine with the ride’s motion to create an unforgettable experience.”

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review of our Whale Watching tour! We are thrilled to hear that you had an unforgettable experience with our team and enjoyed both the majestic whales and stunning Icelandic coastline. Our team works hard to provide an educational and enjoyable experience for all our guests, and your kind words truly mean a lot to us. We greatly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on another adventure in the future. Warm regards, Reykjavík Sailors Team Customer Support and Sales

    Whale Watching And Fly Over Iceland Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Whale Watching And Fly Over Iceland Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Whale Watching And Fly Over Iceland Guided Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Whale Watching And Fly Over Iceland Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Whale Watching And Fly Over Iceland Guided Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Whale Watching And Fly Over Iceland Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Whale Watching And Fly Over Iceland Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Whale Watching And Fly Over Iceland Guided Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
