Booking FAQs

Have your voucher ready on your phone or as a printed copy for check-in at the wooden pier. Wear warm, layered clothing with a windproof outer layer to stay comfortable in changing Icelandic conditions. Choose closed-toe footwear with good traction, as deck surfaces may become wet during the cruise.

Feeding, touching, or otherwise disturbing whales, dolphins, and seabirds is not permitted.

Although whale encounters are common in Eyjafjörður, sightings of wildlife cannot be assured. Guests of all ages can participate in this experience, making it suitable for families. Please check in at the meeting point at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure. The full experience, including the return to the harbour, takes around 2.5 hours.
